1.25–5 wt% Pt/Al2O3, 1.25–5 wt% Pd/Al2O3, 1 wt% Pd/TiO2, 1–5 wt% Pd/TiO2-NF, 1.25 wt% Pt + 1.25 wt% Pd/Al2O3, 5 wt% Pt/SiO2, and 5 wt% Pt/C catalysts were synthesised and tested in selective oxidation of 1,2-propanediol by molecular oxygen. It was found that all catalysts were active in alkaline water solutions; lactic acid was obtained as the main product of the reaction. The conversion of 1,2propandiol and the yield of lactic acid depended on the content of active metal in the catalysts. The most active for the oxidation of 1,2-propandiol were palladiumcontaining catalysts supported on TiO2 nanofibers (Pd/TiO2-NF). The highest 1,2-propanediol conversion (100 mol%) and lactic acid yield (96 mol%) were obtained using the 5 wt% Pd/TiO2-NF catalyst at the following oxidation parameters: c0(1,2propanediol) = 0.3 mol/L, P(O2) = 1 atm, n(1,2-propanediol)/n(Pd) = = 500 mol/mol, t = 60 °C, c0(NaOH) = 1.5 mol/L.
