Abstract Aqueous-phase reforming of propanol-1, propane-1,2-diol and glycerol was performed at 498 K and 29.7 bar in a continuous reactor with platinum supported on a polymer-derived carbon, as a catalyst. The number of hydroxyl groups of the reactant influenced the product distribution. An unexpectedly long stabilization period − more than 150 h of time-on-stream − was found to be an important feature of the catalyst.
