• A potential route for glycerol valorization and CO2 sequestration was obtained.
• The glycerol/nickel ratio affected the selectivity to different oxygenated compounds.
• From 250 °C, the liquid product composition was complex.
• CO2 conversion was only observed below 200 °C.
• CO2 presence favored oxiranes, alcohols and esters formation.
The glycerol conversion in the presence of carbon dioxide was investigated on a Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, TPR, BET, XPS, H2-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 °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.
