Furfural decarbonylation catalyzed by charcoal supported palladium: Part I — Kinetics

Furfural: a renewable and versatile platform molecule for the synthesis of chemicals and fuels

“…Conducting the reaction in the liquid phase results in less intense deactivation processes and in a more viable process. 381,[384][385][386] Furan has a low boiling point (304 K), and therefore, furan is continuously distilled at the reaction temperature. A Pd/C catalyst promoted by K 2 CO 3 was identified as the best catalyst.…”

Furfural—A Promising Platform for Lignocellulosic Biofuels

“…Gaset et al [61][62][63][64] performed the decarbonylation reaction at a milder temperature (160 8C) in the liquid phase in the absence of H 2 using Al 2 O 3 -and C-supported Pd catalysts and K 2 CO 3 as the cocatalyst. The reaction was not affected by traces of water, but was hindered by traces of acids, which were formed, for example, by autooxidation of furfural during storage.…”

Advances in Diels–Alder/aromatization of biomass furan derivatives towards renewable aromatic hydrocarbons

“…As early as 2012, Huber and Cheng synthesized toluene and benzene by co-adding ethylene or propylene with FF at 450-600 °C and in situ decarbonylation of FF in the presence of ZSM-5, but obtained the corresponding unsatisfactory results. 103 In contrast, reductive decarbonylation was carried out in the gas phase 102 or liquid phase 104,105 at 250-300 °C or lower temperature conditions. The decarbonylation in the gas phase proceeded with a supported precious metal catalyst in the presence of H 2 , which demonstrated the advantages of high yield and a relatively simple catalyst cycle and regeneration.…”
