for the hydrolytic hydrogenation of cellulose to EG.

ДЄ carbon nanotube (CNT)-supported bimetallic 0.8% RuвЂ“30% W-CNT catalyst was prepared by Ribeiro etВ al. The reaction was at carried out at 229.85вЊ for 90В min under 4.0В MPa H 2 pressure. This catalyst was prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal sol-gel process and showed multiple active sites, which resulted in an excellent yield of EG. Hamdy and coworker studied the selective hydrogenolysis of cellulose into EG using a novel 3AlвЂ“15WвЂ“3Ni catalyst. The partial cellulose depolymerization occurred as a result of the mesoporous support structure before catalysis on the sites inside the pores occurred. The high yield of EG might have resulted from greater pore accessibility and diffusion in the support. Furthermore, expansion of this work was carried out using an SBA-15 support and a three-dimensional mesoporous carbon support, which resulted in the better yield of EG, up to 75%. Ji and coworkers studied the conversion of cellulose into EG in a one-pot aqueous reaction for 30В minВ at 518В K using nickel-promoted tungsten carbide on an activated carbon (AC) (NiвЂ“W 2C/AC) catalyst. Direct conversion of cellulose to value-added chemicals in biorefinery is an attractive and promising approach. Using cellulose biomass to synthesize such bulk chemicals will lessen dependence on fossil resources and contribute to the sustainable development of the worldвЂ™s economy. Because of increasing global demand for EG for clothes, packaged items, and unsaturated resin materials, its market capacity is expected to grow further annually at a rate of 5% in the next few decades.
