Fatty alcohols have been explored for potential use in medicine, health suplements and biofuels. Recently, Ru-Sn/Al2O3 and Pt/TiO2 showed higher activity for hydrogenation carboxylic acid into fatty alcohols.1,2 Here, we evaluated the catalytic performances of supported bimetallic Ru-Sn instead of Ni-Sn alloy catalysts. We synthesised supported Ru-Sn catalyst with Ru/Sn mol ratio of 3.0 using the similar procedure to our previous report.3
