• The gas-phase dehydration of glycerol in presence of water was investigated at 280 °C. Glycerol conversion and acrolein selectivity depended on the total acidity and on the textural properties. Additionally, the formation of by-products during the dehydration of glycerol and the conversion of 1-hydroxyacetone and 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde catalysts was studied. Al 2O 3 and TiO 2 supports modified by impregnation with PO 4-ions and SAPO-11 and SAPO-34 samples were synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical methods. The acidic properties of these catalysts were determined by ammonia TPD. The gas-phase dehydration of glycerol in presence of water was investigated at 280 °C. Glycerol conversion and acrolein selectivity depended on the total acidity and on the textural properties. Additionally, the formation of by-products during the dehydration of glycerol and the conversion of 1-hydroxyacetone and 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde catalysts was studied. The SAPO samples showed high selectivity at low reaction times. Rapid deactivation and formation of carbonaceous deposits was observed for all tested catalysts. The properties of the deactivated catalysts were studied by TPD-NH 3 and TPO analysis.
