2-Propanol was studied as a hydrogen donor molecule in the transfer hydrogenation process to selectively convert glycerol into 1,2-propanediol under N2 pressure and using Ni or/and Cu supported on Al2O3 catalysts. The results were compared to those obtained under the same operating conditions but under H2 pressure. The results of the activity tests and catalyst characterization techniques (N2-physisorption, H2-chemisorption, TPD of NH3, TPR, TPO and XPS) suggest that glycerol hydrogenolysis to yield 1,2-propanediol occurred through a different mechanism regarding the origin of the hydrogen species. When atomic hydrogen came from dissolved molecular hydrogen dissociation, glycerol was first dehydrated to acetol and then hydrogenated to 1,2-propanediol. On the other hand, when the hydrogen atoms were produced from 2-propanol dehydrogenation, glycerol was directly converted to 1,2-propanediol through intermediate alkoxide formation.
