The glycerol conversion in the presence of carbon dioxide was investigated on a Ni/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, TPR, BET, XPS, H-2-TPD, DRIFTS and Raman. A catalyst preparation method using ethylene glycol and a reduction passivation procedure provided an active catalyst. For the different catalytic runs in a batch reactor, a higher formation of hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, and furans was observed when the mass of catalyst was increased. For temperatures below 200 degrees C, both glycerol and CO2 were converted, suggesting a potential route for glycerol valorization and CO2 sequestration, with the consequent production of oxirane, alcohols, ketones and carboxylic acids. For higher temperatures, there was the formation of a wide range of low yield products, with higher yields to ketones, alcohols and esters. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
