About this document

Kinetics of Furfural Hydrogenation/Deoxygenation by Shandy Armando is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a kinetics study of the hydrogenation/deoxygenation of furfural and methyl furfural over a 5 wt % Cu/SiO2 catalyst. Key results include: 1) Furfural and methyl furfural conversion was well-represented by single-site Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics. 2) Water inhibited furfural conversion at lower temperatures but the effect was negligible at higher temperatures. 3) With methyl furfural, no furfuryl alcohol intermediate was observed and only the final dimethyl furan product formed, ind
