The hydrogenation of furfural is an important process in the synthesis bio-based chemicals. Copper-based catalysts favor to alcohols. Catalytic activity and stability were higher at a Ni-to-Cu atomic ratio 1:1 1.5:0.5 compared 0.5:1.5. Here, we prepared Ni-Cu/Al2O3 derived from layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Catalysts calcined 673 K reduced 773 with nominal Ni/Cu ratios y/x = 1.5/0.5, 1/1 0....

This study focuses on the application of nanostructured Mg-Al layered double hydroxide as a promising adsorbent in desulfurization of dibenzothiophene, an aromatic sulfur bearing compound from gasoil model. The Mg-Al LDH was synthesized by a co-precipitation method and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, EDX and SEM. The XRD and FT-IR approved the layered structure and crystalline form of the adsorben...
