The invention relates to a process for preparing a mixture of alkylene glycols (e.g. ethylene glycol and/or propylene glycol) from a carbohydrate source by catalytic conversion with hydrogen. More specifically, the catalytic hydrogenolysis process of the invention has an increased selectivity for glycerol, next to producing considerable amounts of ethyelene glycol and propylene glycol. This is achieved by ensuring the carbohydrate feed is rich in sucrose.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of catalysts, and specifically to a Zn—Al slurry catalyst, its preparation method and its application in preparing ethanol from syngas. The preparation method provided in the disclosure prepares the Zn—Al slurry catalyst by introducing a zinc component into an aluminum sol, and the preparation method has a simple operation and a lower cost. The Zn—Al slurry catalyst prepared in the disclosure includes the Zn component and the Al component, which may catalyze syngas to generate ethanol under mild conditions. Also, the catalyst has stable properties, is not easy to be deactivated, and reduces the cost of preparing ethanol from syngas. When the Zn—Al slurry catalyst provided in the disclosure is used as the catalyst for preparing ethanol from syngas, the reaction conditions are mild, and the syngas may be catalyzed to generate ethanol under the conditions of 250-340° C. and 3-5 MPa.
