Abstract

Abstract: Furfural derived from biomass hemicelluloses is an important intermediate for biofuels and chemicals. In order to further upgrade, furfural is usually reduced into 2-methyl furan that is more stable and useful. In this work, furfural was reduced by CuZnAl, CuMgAl, Cu₂Cr₂O₅, CuNiAl as catalysts in a supercritical methanol without external H₂ source. The best yield of 2-methyl furan was achieved among the H₂ free furfural process reported as high as 74%. And the catalytic behaviors were discussed under different catalysts and temperatures conditions.

Key words: Furfural, 2-Methyl furan, Supercritical methanol
