Dramatic increases in the price of crude oil, and consequently, transportation fuels, coupled with increased environmental concerns have resulted in rapid growth in biodiesel production. Thus, so does production of the primary coproduct, glycerol, which has become a worrying factor because for every ton of biodiesel produced, are generated 100 Kg of glycerol. Because this reality research has been developed to search alternatives for the use of glycerol. So, an application for this alcohol is the search for value-added chemicals such as propylene glycol and others. Reactions of aqueous phase reforming of glycerol were performed without the addition of hydrogen and streaming using monometallic catalysts of Re and Pt and bimetallic Pt-Re all supported on carbon Black . We used an aqueous solution of glycerol feeding 80% m / m, temperature of 275°C and 30 bar pressure. WHSV was varied and the content thus evaluating Re, its influence on the Pt catalysts, the stability and activity. The catalysts was characterized for temperature-programmed reduction (TPR); chemisorption of CO studies; temperature-programmed desorption-CO (TPD-CO); temperature-programmed desorption-isopropylamine (TPD-IPA). Studies of RTP for the bimetallic catalysts Pt-Re showed that rhenium interacts strongly with the platinum and possibly, precursor species are formed bimetallic alloy. CO chemisorption experiments resulted in the formation of the alloys of Pt-Re / C. The results of TPD-CO demonstrated that the addition of Re to the catalyst Pt / C changes the surface of Pt and collaborates with the weakening of bond strength of the CO molecule to the sites involved. Through the catalytic reactions studied and a qualitative analysis of chromatograms from high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) was possible to verify from the reaction of aqueous phase reforming of glycerol, the formation 1,2-propanediol and other products.
