A series of transition metal oxides or mixed oxides supported nano-Au catalysts were prepared for the selective oxidation of glycerol to glyceric acid using 3% H2O2. It was found that the composition and structure of supports significantly influenced the catalytic performance of catalysts. The mesoporous trimetal mixed oxide (CuNiAlO) supported nano-Au catalysts were more active in comparison with the others. In the present catalytic system, the highest glycerol conversion was 90.5%, while the selectivity of glyceric acid could reach 72%. Moreover, the catalytic performance remained after 11 times of reaction.

Composites of Au supported on the TiO2-nanofibers (Au/NF-TiO2) were synthesized and tested in glycerol oxidation processes. TiO2-nanofibers were prepared by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method. Chemical deposition method was used for nanofibers modification with Au nanoparticles. Oxidation of aqueous glycerol solutions by molecular oxygen in the presence of Au/NF-TiO2 nanocomposites was performed. It was found that Au/NF-TiO2 composites are catalytically active in alkaline glycerol water solutions. The main product of glycerol catalytic oxidation was glyceric acid, by-products were – tartronic, lactic, glycolic, oxalic, acetic and formic acid. It was shown that Au/NF-TiO2 catalysts’ activity and selectivity depend on Au weight loading, glycerol/Au molar ratio, oxygen pressure and NaOH initial concentration. The best result was achieved using the 0.5 wt%Au/NF-TiO2 catalyst: selectivity by glyceric acid was 76% with glycerol conversion 100%.

1,2-Propanediol selective oxidation with molecular oxygen in presence of heterogeneous catalyst is one of the most nature friendly 1,2-propanediol conversion methods. This work demonstrates Au, Pt and Pd containing catalysts’ activity and selectivity in a 1,2-propanediol oxidation process. The main product of the 1,2-propanediol catalytic oxidation was lactic acid, by-products were acetic and formic acids. It was found that Au based catalysts are best for 1,2-propanediol oxidation in alkaline water solutions. The best result was achieved using the 4.8wt%Au/Al2O3catalyst: selectivity by lactic acid was 94% with 1,2-propanediol conversion 100% (c0(1,2-propanediol) = 0.3 mol/L, P(O2) = 6 atm, n (1,2-propanediol)/n (Au) = 500, t = 60°C, c0(NaOH) = 1.5 mol/L).

Two kinds of Pt/CeO2 catalysts supplemented with NiO or CoOx additives were synthesized by extractive-pyrolytic method and tested in glycerol oxidation processes. It was found that only NiO additive promotes Pt/CeO2 catalysts activity and selectivity to glyceric acid. NiO promoted Pt catalysts activity depends on NiO composites’ calcination temperature, oxygen partial pressure, initial NaOH concentration, as well as temperature. Glycerol conversion increases along with increased oxygen partial pressure from1 to 6 atm and along with decreased glycerol/Pt molar ratio from 5000 to 300. It was found that presence of base is significant in the glycerol oxidation processes over NiO promoted Pt/CeO2 catalysts, and optional NaOH initial concentration is 0.6 mol/L. The best yield of glyceric acid (68%) was reached in the presence of 4.8wt%Pt/5wt%NiO/CeO2 (300 °C) catalyst, when temperature was elevated up to 70 °C.
