For comparison, the three metals have also been supported on activated carbon (AC). The catalysts are characterized by XRD, N-2 and H-2 adsorption measurements. Addition of Ca(OH)(2) to the reaction mixture increases conversion and selectivity for the dihydroxy compounds, 1,2-propanediol (PD) and ethylene glycol (EG). Based on yield of dihydric alcohols (PD+EG), the performance of the catalysts at 220 degrees C and 60 bar in the presence of Ca(OH)(2) is in the order: Ru-AC similar to Ru-SBA-15(C) &gt; Ru-SBA-15 similar to Ni-SBA-15, the yields being 40, 39, 31 and 29 wt%, respectively.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.566</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
