Continuous Furfural Hydrogenolysis into 2‑Methylfuran and 2‑Methyltetrahydrofuran over Cu/γ–Al2O3 with ReO x and WO x as Catalyst Boosters

Cu/Al2O3 catalysts, enhanced with ReO x and WO x as catalyst boosters, were employed for the hydrogenolysis of furfural (FAL) into 2-methylfuran (2-MF) and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) within a continuous fixed-bed reactor. Comprehensive catalyst analyses revealed that the addition of ReO x and...
