The hydrogenation of furfural by catalytic hydrogen transfer to produce furfuryl alc. has been investigated over a series of mixed oxides derived from hydrotalcite catalysts. Three different catalysts containing Ni, Co and Zn phases on an Al-rich amorphous support were synthesized and characterized. The catalytic performances were evaluated in a batch stirred reactor using 2-propanol as a solvent and hydrogen donor, with Co3O4-Al2O3 showing the highest activity and selectivity to FA (74% yield; 97% selectivity). The effects of temperature (T=120-180°C) and reaction time (t=30 min-24 h) were also studied, reaching a FA maximum yield of 92% at 150°C after 24 h. The Co3O4-Al2O3 catalyst showed a loss of activity after the first run, which can be easily restored by a simple calcination treatment. The results establish a catalytic route to produce valuable furfuryl alc. over 3d-transition metal-based catalysts without any external hydrogen supply.
