Continuous production of glyceric acid and lactic acid by catalytic oxidation of glycerol over an Au–Pt/Al2O3 bimetallic catalyst using a liquid-phase flow reactor

In this study, we investigated an Au–Pt/Al2O3 bimetallic catalyst prepared by a conventional deposition–precipitation method for the production of the high-value carboxylic acids glyceric acid and lactic acid from glycerol using liquid-phase flow reactor. Also, the distribution of the products was significantly different from the previously reported Au monometallic catalyst. A long-term (>1000 min) catalytic activity test at 358 K using a...
