Bentonit Terpilar TiO2 sebagai Katalis Pembuatan Hidrogen dalam Pelarut Air pada Hidrogenasi Glukosa Menjadi Sorbitol dengan Katalis Nikel

Abstract

Glucose hydrogenation using water at solvent was happened through two step. First, water was reduced to hydrogen and oxygen gases by TiO2 pillared bentonite. Second, hydrogen that produced was used to reduce glucose into sorbitol. The reaction was prepared in transpharan medium for 30 days along under UV from sunlight. The products of reaction was characterized using FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
