“…Delbecq et al indicated that the C=O hydrogenation selectivity in the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes could be enhanced by the formation of a Pt-Sn alloy because of the higher affinity of the alloy towards C=O rather than towards C=C bonds, as noted previously [19]. Resasco et al have reported that the selective hydrogenation of C=O versus C=C in α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by Pd-Cu alloy supported on silica was caused by the preferential η 2 -coordination of C=O to Pd [20]. In addition, the catalytic reaction over supports (carbon (AC), -Al2O3, Al(OH)3, ZnO, ZrO2, MgO, Li-TN, TiO2, and SiO2) was also carried out under the same reaction condi- --100 -5 0 0 0 13 TiO2 --52 -5 0 0 0 14 ZnO ----3 In order to get insight into the role of support, the catalytic performance of three types of supported Ni3Sn2/TiO2, Ni3Sn2/ZnO, and Ni3Sn2/-Al2O3 alloy catalysts have been evaluated at different reaction temperature, time profile, and loading amount of Ni3Sn2 and the results are shown in Figure 4, 5, and 6, respectively.…”

A highly active and selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural into furfuryl alcohol was achieved using supported single phase Ni3Sn2 alloy catalysts. Various supports such as active carbon (AC), -Al2O3, Al(OH)3, ZnO, TiO2, ZrO2, MgO, Li-TN, and SiO2 have been employed in order to understand the role of the support on the formation of Ni3Sn2 alloy phase and its catalytic performance. Supported Ni3Sn2 alloy catalysts were synthesised via a simple hydrothermal treatment of the mixture of aqueous solution of nickel chloride hexahydrate and ethanol solution of tin(II) chloride dihydrate in presence of ethylene glycol at 423 K for 24 h followed by H2 treatment at 673 K for 1.5 h, then characterised by using ICP-AES, XRD, H2-and N2-adsorption. XRD profiles of samples showed that the Ni3Sn2 alloy phases are readily formed during hydrothermal processes and become clearly observed at 2θ = 43-44 o after H2 treatment. The presence of Ni3Sn2 alloy species that dispersed on the supports is believed to play a key role in highly active and selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural towards furfuryl alcohol. Ni3Sn2 on TiO2 and ZnO supports exhibited much lower reaction temperature to achieved >99% yield of furfuryl alcohol product compared with other supports. The effects of loading amount of Ni-Sn, reaction conditions (temperature and time profile) on the activity and selectivity towards the desired product are systematically discussed.

“…In this context, a model reaction that has received significant attention is the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. In spite of a substantial amount of study, however, furfural hydrogenation catalysts, most of which are based on transition metals or metal alloys, are still incompletely understood, and the hydrogenation process remains the subject of a significant amount research [2,7,[9][10][11]. As is the case for numerous other hydrogenation chemistries, such as the selective hydrogenation of acetylene [12], the key catalytic imperative is to maintain a balanced reaction activity and selectivity.…”

“…These two reactant units undergo aldol condensation reactions to form large molecules, followed by multi-step hydrogenation/dehydration processes to form C9-C15 alkanes [31] . The furfural intermediate can be processed in a fixed bed reactor by the HDO process by a catalyst of Cu, Pd/ SiO 2 [32][33][34] . Decarbonylation to furan is the dominant reaction, and furan is further hydrogenated to THF (tetrahydrofuran).…”

Increased demand for liquid transportation fuels, environmental concerns and depletion of petroleum resources requires the development of efficient conversion technologies for production of second-generation biofuels from non-food resources. Thermochemical approaches hold great potential for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into liquid fuels. Direct thermochemical processes convert biomass into liquid fuels in one step using heat and catalysts and have many advantages over indirect and biological processes, such as greater feedstock flexibility, integrated conversion of whole biomass, and lower operation costs. Several direct thermochemical processes are employed in the production of liquid biofuels depending on the nature of the feedstock properties: such as fast pyrolysis/liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass for bio-oil, including upgrading methods, such as catalytic cracking and hydrogenation. Owing to the substantial amount of liquid fuels consumed by vehicular transport, converting biomass into drop-in liquid fuels may reduce the dependence of the fuel market on petroleumbased fuel products. In this review, we also summarize recent progress in technologies for large-scale equipment for direct thermochemical conversion. We focus on the technical aspects critical to commercialization of the technologies for production of liquid fuels from biomass, including feedstock type, cracking catalysts, catalytic cracking mechanisms, catalytic reactors, and biofuel properties. We also discuss future prospects for direct thermochemical conversion in biorefineries for the production of high grade biofuels.
