A single-atom Ni catalyst is utilized for the first time in catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol.

Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol (FAL) and 2-methylfuran (MF) using a zinc catalyst represents greener pathway produce value added chemicals as compared the chemo-catalytic hydrogenation.

Graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets were investigated for developing effective Pt catalyst supports for selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol in water. The nanosheets with an average thickness of about 3 nm were synthesized by a simple and green method through thermal oxidation etching of bulk g-C3N4 in air. Combined with the unique feature of nitrogen richness and locally con...

in the present study, the effects of calcium doping on the performance of the co-precipitated cu-mgo catalysts prepared with different calcium loadings in the selective hydrogenation of furfuraldehyde were investigated. the results proved that the addition of this promoter had a remarkable impact on the catalytic performance. the conversion of furfuraldehyde enhanced up to 83% and the furfuryl ...

Furfuryl alcohol was evaluated for mutagenic activity in D. melanogaster by means of the sex-linked recessive lethal test and the sex-chromosome loss test. Brooding was employed in order to test different stages of spermatogenesis. No evidence was found of a mutagenic effect after adult injection and larval feeding.

The search for and exploitation of efficient catalytic systems for selective conversion of furfural into various high value-added chemicals remains a huge challenge for green synthesis in the chemical industry. Here, novel Pt nanoparticles supported on bamboo shoot-derived porous heteroatom doped carbon materials were designed as highly active catalysts for controlled hydrogenation of furfural ...

Two Pseudomonas strains known to utilize furan derivatives were shown to respond chemotactically to furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfuryl alcohol, and 2-furoic acid. In addition, a LysR-family regulatory protein known to regulate furan metabolic genes was found to be involved in regulating the chemotactic response.

This study presents easily prepared free formaldehyde bio-based foam based on a thermosetting resin comprising tannin–lignin–furfuryl alcohol-glyoxal (TLFG) via mechanical stirring in presence of ether as foaming agent. The was developed through co-polycondensation reaction glyoxal and furfuryl alcohol with condensed tannin lignin, which is forest-derived product. Investigation using scanning e...
