Fovanna, Thibault; Campisi, Sebastiano; Villa, Alberto; Kambolis, Anastasios; Peng, Gael; Rentsch, Daniel; Krocher, Oliver; Nachtegaal, Maarten; Ferri, Davide published the artcile< Ruthenium on phosphorous-modified alumina as an effective and stable catalyst for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural>, Name: (Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanol, the main research area is ruthenium phosphorus modified alumina catalyst preparation furfural hydrogenation.
Supported ruthenium was used in the liquid phase catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural. To improve the stability of Ru against leaching, phosphorus was introduced on a Ru/Al2O3 based catalyst upon impregnation with ammonium hypophosphite followed by either reduction or calcination to study the effect of phosphorus on the physico-chem. properties of the active phase. Characterization using X-ray diffraction, solid state 31P NMR spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction with H2, IR spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption from the liquid phase and transmission electron microscopy indicated that phosphorus induces a high dispersion of Ru, promotes Ru reducibility and is responsible for the formation of acid species of bronsted character. As a result, the phosphorus-based catalyst obtained after reduction was more active for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural and more stable against Ru leaching under these conditions than a benchmark Ru catalyst supported on activated carbon.
