The one-pot hydrogenolysis of furfural to 2-methylfuran in the gas phase is catalysed by Mg/Fe mixed oxide using methanol as H-transfer reactant.
This work explores the thermal treatment of V/P/O catalyst precursors to achieve active and selective catalysts for oxidation n-butane maleic anhydride (MA) in a continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor. Vanadyl pyrophosphate (V4+, VPP), key component, is produced together with suitable V5+ vanadium orthophosphate (VOPO4) allotropic forms by thermally treating vanadyl hydrogen phosphate hemihydrate (VHP) under various atmospheres temperature ramps. The characterization conducted using X-ray...
A new reductive process in the field of biomass valorisation for sustainable production bio-fuel additives and chemicals.
The hydrogenation of biomass-derived molecules is a key reaction in upgrading these compounds into chemicals and fuels. use catalytic transfer hydrogenation, employing alcohols as hydrogen sources, offers an alternative approach to this process, avoiding the H2 under high pressure precious noble metal catalysts. In work, continuous-flow, selective conversion furfural (FU) furfuryl alcohol (FAL) was investigated, using methanol H-transfer agent CaO-based CaO easily prepared by thermal...
The hydrodeoxygenation of furfural (FU) was investigated over Fe-containing MgO catalysts, on a continuous gas flow reactor, using methanol as hydrogen donor. Catalysts were prepared either by coprecipitation or impregnation methods, with different Fe/Mg atomic ratios. main product 2-methylfuran (MFU), an important highly added value chemical, up to 92% selectivity. catalyst design helped our understanding the impact acid/base properties and nature iron species in terms catalytic...
