Peru presented a law to promote the use of biofuels with the aim of increasing employment and strengthening agricultural development. The biodiesel business in Peru is basically limited to the production of oil palm biodiesel, using it to increase diesel production or for export. The use of biodiesel directly as fuel has many limitations due to its composition of long-chain methyl esters that crystallize at low temperatures, generating problems in engines. To generate new forms of application of palm oil biodiesel, heterogeneous catalysis through the use of metal catalysts gives us the tools to obtain cetyl alcohol as a new added value. Therefore, in this research we worked with methyl palmitate, methyl ester and the majority component of palm oil biodiesel. With this objective, a series of Cu-Ru/TiÜ2-based catalysts for the hydrogenation of methyl palmitate were investigated. In the analysis of the catalysts, we can mention that Ru has good hydrogenating properties and Cu as an additive has shown interesting acid effects. We worked with the TiÜ2 support synthesized by the sol-gel method where it was possible to obtain a better surface area compared to the commercial TiÜ2. The preparation of Cu-Ru/TiÜ2 catalysts was carried out by the incipient wet impregnation method, where the mass percentage ratio (W%) Cu:Ru was varied between 2 and 12%. The XRD, FTIR and Raman characterization analyzes showed that the catalysts have a crystalline structure, mainly anatase phase, where the presence of Ru (EDS), Cu and the CuÜ and Cu2Ü phases could also be verified. It was possible to study the influence of the Ru content and the variation of the amount of Cu added as a promoter. It is evident that a greater metallic load of copper allowed a reduction in the amount of acid sites due to the formation of CuÜ and Cu2Ü phases. Changes in the catalytic activity were observed depending on the total amount of Bronsted acid sites, but it is also revealed that the addition of Cu to Ru/TiÜ2 generates a suitable synergistic effect between the Cu, Ru, CuÜ and Cu2Ü phases formed. Among all the catalysts tested, the 5Cu-2Ru/TiÜ2 catalyst exhibited the highest selectivity towards cetyl alcohol (of the order of 17%) with a conversion level of 20% due to having more Bronsted acid sites.
