Progress on Catalytic System for the Preparation of Furfuryl Alcohol from Biomass Furfural
Furfural,as an important biomass platform compound,can be further derived to obtain a variety of fuels as well as high value-added chemical products.In recent years,numerous types of catalysts have been developed for the efficient conversion of furfural to furfuryl alcohol.The research progress of biomass-based furfural to furfuryl alcohol reaction systems is described by looking at noble metal systems(Pt,Pd,Ru)as well as non-precious metal systems(Co,Ni,Cu)as catalytic activity centres.Cutting-edge methods,problems faced during catalyst design and directions for future researches are pointed out,with a view to providing theoretical references for the development of efficient and stable catalysts.
