| Abstract | In this study the conversion of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol using Cu/MgO, Cu/SiO2, Cu/ZnO and Cu/ Al2O3 catalysts with 10 and 20% Cu contents were evaluated. The copper catalysts were obtained by the incipient wet impregnation method (IWI), using as a precursor a 1M trihydrate copper (II) nitrate solution. The characterization of the catalysts was carried out by the techniques of infrared spectroscopy, solving the characteristic signals at 1633cm-1 and 1383cm-1 indicating the presence of nitrates, whereas by X-ray diffraction it is possible to show the corresponding characteristic peaks to the planes of the tenorite (1 1 -1) and (1 1 1), at the 2θ angles of 35.6 ° and 38.7 ° respectively, indicating that the tenorite CuO is present in all solid systems in this study and that is the tenorite the active phase for transformation of glycerol. On the other hand, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allowed to confirm the presence of particles with sizes varying between 100 and 800 nanometers depending on the support. This study demonstrates that 31 Cita: González Vera OF, Mutiz JJ, Urresta Aragón J.
