The evaluation of supported precious metal catalysts, in combination with and without solid acids, for the hydrogenolysis of highly concentrated glycerol solutions, with the aim to produce lower alcohols, in particular 1-propanol was studied. GCMS analysis of the product mixtures obtained has shed some light on the possible mechanism leading to unwanted condensation products, as well as the composition of these compounds.
