intense research efforts during the past decade resulting in a 20% annual increase in the …

The use of a Ni–CoOx–Al 2 O 3 mixed metal–metal oxide catalyst was proposed for the one-
pot direct conversion of furfural (FFA) to 1, 5-pentanediol (1, 5-PDO), which afforded a high …

Furfural is currently industrially produced from raw agricultural materials with almost no limit;
however, its market volume is very limited due to its monofunctionalized furan structure …

Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are important platform chemicals in biorefinery.
Reduction of furfural or HMF with H2 over heterogeneous catalysts is the simplest way to …

The selective liquid phase hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol over Pt nanoparticles
supported on SiO 2, ZnO, γ-Al 2 O 3, CeO 2 is reported under extremely mild conditions …

Production of biomass-derived chemicals requires the decrease of oxygen content in
substrates because building blocks in biomass refinery have high oxygen content. C–O …
