Selective 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Hydrogenolysis to 2,5-Dimethylfuran over Bimetallic Pt-FeOx/AC Catalysts

Neopentane Reactions over Bimetallic Pt-Sn/AI203 and Pt-Au/SiO2 Catalysts

The reaction of 2,2-dimethylpropane (neopentane) with hydrogen was studied over two series of supported bimetallic catalysts containing platinum as the primary group VIII metal and either gold or tin as the second metallic component. In both catalyst series the platinum nominal loading was maintained constant at 1 wt%. The loading of the second metal component was varied. An effort has been mad...

Desorption of Furfural from Bimetallic Pt-Fe Oxides/Alumina Catalysts

In this work, the desorption of furfural, which is a competitive intermediate during the production of biofuel and valuable aromatic compounds, was studied using pure alumina, as well as alumina impregnated with iron and platinum oxides both individually and in combination, using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The bimetallic sample exhibited the lowest desorption percentage for furfural. Hig...

Selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5- diformylfuran over intercalated vanadium phosphate oxides

Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol to 1,2-Propanediol and Ethylene Glycol over Ru-Co/ZrO2 Catalysts

A series of ZrO2 supported Ru-Co bimetallic catalysts were prepared and evaluated for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol. The Ru-Co/ZrO2 bimetallic catalyst combines the advantages of both Ru and Co, exhibiting high activity and good selectivity to 1,2-propanediol. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and TEM results show that higher calcination temperature leads to lower reducibility of cobalt oxides and l...
