	The C-O hydrogenolysis of erythritol was investigated using Pt/W/Ti-SBA-15 catalysts (4 wt% Pt, 1 wt% W and Si/Ti molar ratio = 50, 33, 20 and 10). Ti-incorporation enhanced the hydrogenolysis activity and the yield of 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO). A catalyst with Si/Ti = 20 afforded erythritol conversion of 94 mol% with 1,4-BDO yield of 32.6 mol% and total BDOs yield of 51.7 mol% at 190 degrees C, 50 bar H2 and 12 h. For the catalyst with no titanium (Pt/W/SBA-15), a double the time was required to achieve such yield. There observed electronic connectivity amongst Ti, Pt and W. For the catalyst with Si/Ti = 20, a greater amount of interfacial Pt-O-W(Ti) sites with Pt in + 2 oxidation state was present. The enhanced catalytic performance of these catalysts was corresponded to dispersed Pt (that facilitate hydrogen activation and spillover) and acidic interfacial Pt-O-W sites (that promote the adsorption and hydrogenolysis of erythritol to diols).</p>

	In this study, we investigated the conversion of sucrose to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) using various Cu-La metals supported on activated carbon (AC), a versatile support known for its hydrophobicity and high surface area. Among the catalysts tested, 6% Cu-20% La/AC demonstrated the highest activity, achieving a 72% yield of 1,2-PDO under optimal reaction conditions of 200 degrees C, 40 bar H2, and 6-h reaction time. Comparative studies using cellulose, sucrose, glucose, and fructose as substrates identified sucrose as the most favorable feedstock for 1,2-PDO production. Detailed catalyst characterization (XRD, TEM, FE-SEM, TPR, TPD, XPS) revealed that the high dispersion, presence of metallic copper, and synergy between Cu and La, along with the presence of optimal acidic and basic sites, were responsible for the catalyst's high selectivity of 1,2-PDO. Additionally, the effect of different supports, including HY, NaY, HZSM-5, NaZSM-5, gamma-Al2O3, and AC, on sucrose conversion was examined, with AC showing superior performance. The catalyst's reusability was also assessed.Graphical abstractInvestigation of Cu-La metals supported on activated carbon for the catalytic conversion of sucrose to 1,2-propanediol, with an emphasis on choice of support, feedstock selection, catalyst performance, and stability under optimized reaction conditions.</p>
