Abstract The oxidation of glycerol using a range of metal‐containing silicalite and aluminophosphate catalysts is described and discussed. Variation in reaction conditions (extent of conversion, temperature, glycerol/hydrogen peroxide ratio) or catalyst (silicalite containing Ti, V, Fe or AlPO‐5 containing Cr, V, Mn, Co) did not lead to the formation of partial oxidation products of glycerol. Formic acid and a mono‐formate ester of glycerol were observed to be the major products together with a complex mixture of acetals. Increasing the pore size of the catalyst was investigated for Ti‐containing materials and it was found that increasing the pore size from ca. 0.5 nm for TS‐1 to 15 nm for a titania–silica co‐gel significantly increased the formation of partial oxidation products of glycerol, namely glyceraldehyde, dihydroxyacetone and glyceric acid.
