Enhanced Cyclopentanone Yield from Furfural Hydrogenation: Promotional Effect of Surface Silanols on Ni-Cu/m-Silica Catalyst
A direct alkaline hydrothermal method was used to synthesize mono- and bimetallic Ni and Cu on mesoporous silica (m-SiO<sub>2</sub>) as catalysts for the hydrogenation of furfural (FAL) to cyclopentanone (CPO). The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, H<sub>2</sub>-TPR,...
