Rational design of the La-doped CuCoAl hydrotalcite catalyst for selective hydrogenation of furfuryl alcohol to 1,5-pentanediol

Abstract

1,5-Pentanediol (1,5-PeD) is an important raw material for the preparation of degradable polyesters, polyurethanes and pharmaceutical intermediates. Efficient synthesis of 1,5-PeD from biomass-derived furfuryl alcohol (FFA) by hydrogenation is a...
