The ever increasing industrial production of commodity and specialty chemicals inexorably
depletes the finite primary fossil resources available on Earth. The forecast of population …

Currently, the development of alternative and green energy sources has been being strongly
pushed aiming to recoup the lack of fossil energy, to meet the ever-increasing demand of …

Furfural has been considered as one of the most promising platform molecules directly
derived from biomass. The hydrogenation of furfural is one of the most versatile reactions to …

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 …

Catalytic conversion of biomass furfural (FAL) to high value-added products (eg, 2-
methylfuran, MF) has attracted considerable attention, in which control over catalytic …

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of m-cresol to produce toluene over carbon-supported Pt and Pt-
WO x catalysts was studied. In stark contrast to Pt/C that exhibits only modest selectivity and …

This paper reviews the research progress of heteroatomic compound treatment technology
in bio-oil. Bio-oil fuels are expected to be a renewable energy source instead of fossil fuels …

2-Methylfuran obtained via the hydrogenation of furfural is an important biomass-derived
liquid fuel. However, the large-scale production of 2-methylfuran from furfural requires cost …

This report describes the recent advances in reduction of furfural to added-value chemicals
under liquid phase and gas phase continuous flow systems using conventional activation …

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of phenol dissolved in decalin was studied over H 2-activated
Ni and Mo-Ni catalysts supported on alumina and amorphous silica alumina (ASA) in the …
