Chen, Changzhou; Zhou, Minghao; Jiang, Jianchun published the artcile< Selective aqueous-phase hydrogenation of furfural to cyclopentanol over Ni-based catalyst under mild conditions>, Safety of (Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanol, the main research area is hydrogenation furfural cyclopentanol nickel catalyst selective aqueous phase.
A series of carbon nanotube (CNT)-supported Ni-based catalysts were prepared through a simple impregnation method. The synthesized Ni-based bimetallic catalysts exhibited much smaller particle size and better dispersion than monometallic Ni/CNT catalyst. Owing to the synergistic effect of Ni with Mo, the material was especially active to hydrogenation of biomass derivatives in aqueous medium. Promotional effect was observed in NiMo/CNT catalyst during hydrogenation of furfural to fine chems., including cyclopentanone/cyclopentanol, which is of profound practical values for processing biomass degradation and may be applied in the food and biomass refining industry.
Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society (Weinheim, Germany) published new progress about Carbon nanotubes. 97-99-4 belongs to class tetrahydrofurans, and the molecular formula is C5H10O2, Safety of (Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanol.
