“…4 Catalytic transformation of glycerol into acrolein via a two-fold dehydration process might be useful for utilising glycerol resources. 5 However, such an approach would give a more economically viable and green substitute for the conventional catalytic petrochemical process in industry, which involves oxidizing propylene on a Bi/Mo binary oxide catalyst. 6 Acrolein is a valuable chemical intermediate and raw ingredient for many processes like acrylic acid esters, ultra-absorbent polymers, detergents, fiber treatment, and other high-value derivatives.…”

Acid catalysis plays a pivotal role in the industrial landscape due to its contributions to various chemical processes in numerous sectors, including petrochemicals, polymers, food processing, and biodiesel production, among others. Sulfonated graphenes hold notable relevance as heterogeneous acid catalysts due to their unique combination of graphene's structural properties and the introduction of sulfonic groups as catalytic acid sites. Herein, we report the preparation of three sulfonated graphene‐based materials ‐ sulfonated reduced graphene oxide (rGO‐SO3H), chlorosulfonated reduced graphene oxide (rGO‐HSO3Cl) and sulfonated graphene oxide (GO‐SO3H)‐ by different synthetic approaches. Physicochemical, textural, morphological, and acidic properties were characterized by different instrumental techniques. Innovatively, these materials have been evaluated as heterogenenous acid catalysts in the solketal synthesis by acetalization of glycerol, which is considered an interesting building block to produce added‐value products. The density of acidic active sites and hydrophobicity were found to be conditioning parameters of the resulting catalytic activity in terms of conversion and selectivity. The best catalytic performance was obtained by rGO‐SO3H, reaching the maximum conversion towards solketal in 15 minutes under mild reaction conditions. The reusability and stability of all materials were also examined after three consecutive acetalization reactions with only a slight loss of catalytic activity.
