Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol over calcined MgFe hydrotalcites
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-11-07)Catalytic transfer hydrogenation is an alternative catalytic approach for the reduction of carbonyl groups, instead of the use of dihydrogen gas. In this sense, a series of catalysts has been prepared by thermal treatment ... -
Recovery of pentoses-containing olive stones for their conversion into furfural in the presence of solid acid catalysts
(2020-06-24)Olive stones were employed as feedstock for furfural production in two stages: 1) autohydrolysis of hemicellulosic fraction to recover their pentoses, mainly xylose, and 2) subsequent dehydration of pentoses into furfural. ... -
Influence of morphology of zirconium-doped mesoporous silicas on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production from mono-, di- and polysaccharides
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-02-21)Different zirconium-doped mesoporous silicas (Zr-KIT-6, Zr-SBA-15, Zr-MCM-41 and Zr-HMS) were synthesized and evaluated in the glucose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). A Si/Zr molar ratio of 5 was chosen for ... -
