A method for oxidation of glycerol into glyceric acid is described, which includes a step of treating glycerol with a supported metal catalyst in the presence of oxygen, said catalyst including platinum and a metal element selected from the group comprising tin, molybdenum, bismuth and a mixture thereof.

Supported metal catalyst and use thereof for selective oxidation of glycerol

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing glycolic acid or one of the salts thereof, including the following step: placing glycerol and an oxidizing agent in contact with one another in a reaction medium in the presence of a silver-based catalyst on a substrate, said substrate including a material selected from the group consisting of CeO, basic AlOoptionally doped with a calcium or cerium oxide, an amphoteric resin, ZrO, and a mixture of said materials. The invention also relates to the use of a silver-based catalyst on a substrate that can be used in said method.
