Abstract: ZrO2 supports were prepared by different methods, and Ru/ZrO2 and Ru-Re/ZrO2 catalysts were prepared using these ZrO2 supports. The influence of addition of Re species and preparation methods of the ZrO2 support on the catalytic performance of Ru/ZrO2 catalysts for glycerol hydrogenolysis was investigated. The results showed that the promoting effect of addition of Re on catalytic performance of Ru/ZrO2 was obvious, and preparation methods of the ZrO2 support had some influences on the catalyst activity.
