A heterogeneously-catalyzed route for the oligomerization of glycerol is proposed.
Quasi full selectivity to oligoglycerol up to 80% conversion of glycerol.
The Aquivion® PFSA PW98 is stable and recyclable superacid.
The regioselectivity of the reaction was fully analyzed (linear, branched and cyclic).
Impact of the shaping of Aquivion® PFSA on its catalytic performances is discussed.
