Vapour-Phase Selective Hydrogenation of γ-Valerolactone to 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran Biofuel over Silica-Supported Copper Catalysts

Vapour-Phase Selective Hydrogenation of γ-Valerolactone to 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran Biofuel over Silica-Supported Copper Catalysts

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) is a desirable biomass-based platform chemical with excellent potential as an ideal biofuel, green solvent, and raw material for synthesizing downstream chemicals. In this work, a series of copper nanoparticles encapsulated on SiO<sub>2</sub> were prepared...
