Hydrogenation, hydrodeoxygenation and ring opening of biomass-derived furfural were
studied by using Pd/C, Pt/C, Re/C, Ru/C, Rh/C, Ni/C and Cu/C catalysts. Based on …

Furfural contamination of water is a serious problem in the world. The review article
highlights on furfural ecotoxicology and the associated molecular mechanisms involved in …

Furfural hydrogenation to furfuryl alcohol is an industrially significant reaction for biomass
valorization. The hydrogenation process has been mainly catalyzed by chromite-based …

Electrocatalytic palladium membrane reactors (ePMRs) use electricity and water to drive
hydrogenation reactions without forming H2 gas. In these reactors, a hydrogen-permeable …

In order to upgrade biomass-derived platform chemicals to high value-added chemicals and
liquid fuels, it is highly advantageous and desirable to synthesize suitable non-precious …
