The possibility of implementing the concept of converting bioglycerin into a blend of oxygenates, potentially applicable as components of gasoline by ketalization with acetone (T = 30°C–40°C, atmospheric pressure), accompanied by mild hydrogenolysis of ketal [T = 100°C–140°C, p(H2) = 2 MPa] to obtain a mixture of of glycerol and solketal isopropyl ethers was demonstrated. Results showed that the preferred method of conversion was the separate performing of ketalization and hydrogenolysis, since when these stages are combined, the side reaction of the formation of free isopropyl alcohol was highly selective. The regularities in the influence of the composition of the catalytic system (Pd/C + para-toluenesulfonic acid) on its activity were observed in the reaction of catalytic hydrogenation of solketal to a mixture of glycerol and solketal isopropyl ethers (optimal ratio of Pd/para-toluenesulfonic acid = 0.811 mol). The addition of 4%–5% glycerol to raw materials increased the yield of target hydrogenation products from 25% to 36%. Using a flow unit, the catalytic hydrogenation of solketal was optimized. In the optimal mode [T = 170°C, p(H2) = 4 MPa, v = 0.5 h?1, H2/feedstock = 660 nL L?1], the conversion of solketal to a mixture of target products (glycerol monoisopropyl ether, glycerol diisopropyl ethers, and solketal isopropyl ether) reached 98%. The possibility of carrying out the reaction on heterogeneous bifunctional catalysts of the Pd/sulfonated coal type was shown.
