Highly efficient and selective aqueous phase hydrogenolysis of furfural to 1,5-pentanediol using bimetallic Ru-SnOx/g-Al2O3 catalysts

A highly efficient and selective aqueous phase hydrogenolysis of furfural (FFald) to 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PeD) was achieved in the presence of gamma-alumina supported bimetallic ruthenium-tin (Ru-(x)Sn/g-Al2O3; x = Sn co-loaded (wt%))...
