Catalytic hydrogenation of furfural and furfuryl alcohol to fuel additives and value-added chemicals

摘要: The selective hydrogenation of furfural and furfuryl alcohol at different temperatures has been studied using several catalysts. effect various reaction conditions (pressure, catalyst amount, solvent) was studied. We have shown that Pd/TiO$_{2}$ catalysts can be very effective for the synthesis 2-methylfuran room temperature. Using octane as a solvent, solvent effectiveness investigated showed actively high selectivity towards alcohol, but there were many byproducts still noticed. Although adding Ru to contributed reducing catalytic activity, this addition improved with decreased byproduct formation. Ru/Pd variation demonstrated considerable influence on selectivity. While small amount (1 wt.%) shifted increment ratio reduced activity revealed poor 2-methylfuran.
