Ru-containing catalysts based on HPS were studied in hydrolytic hydrogenation of cellulose.
The catalysts based on non-functionalized MN-270 provide high efficiency and selectivity.
The temperature decrease results in the increase of the hexitol yield up to 60–70%.
This catalyst is also highly stable in the repeated use.
The catalytic systems on the basis of HPS are planned to obtain maximum yield of lower polyols.
