Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of a catalyst made of rhenium oxide supported by cerium oxide, with formula ReOx/CeO2 (I), for catalyzing the deoxydehydration of glycerol to allyl alcohol, the reaction being carried out under heterogeneous conditions in the presence of at least one aliphatic alcohol; and to a method for producing allyl alcohol from glycerol in the presence of the catalyst.
Claims14
A process for catalyzing the deoxydehydration of glycerol into allyl alcohol, comprising reacting glycerol and a catalyst consisting of rhenium oxide supported by cerium, with the formula ReOx/CeO2 (I), said process being carried out under heterogeneous conditions in the presence of at least one aliphatic alcohol.
A process for producing allyl alcohol from glycerol in the presence of a catalyst, said process comprising only one step of deoxydehydration of glycerol, said process being carried out under heterogeneous conditions, in the presence of i) a catalyst consisting of rhenium oxide supported on cerium oxide, with the formula ReOx/CeO2 (I) and (ii) at least one aliphatic alcohol.
