Abstract:The conversion of furfural to cyclopentanone over Ru-Co bimetallic catalysts was studied under a hydrogen atmosphere. It was found that furfural in water solution converted to cyclopentanone with high selectivity under 3.0 MPa and 433 K. Cyclopentanol and furfuryl alcohol were detected as by-products. Addition of cerium oxide greatly improved the catalytic performance. In the presence of 6%Ru-6%Co-6%CeO 2 /MSEP catalyst, 100% furfural conversion and 71.35% selectivity to cyclopentanone were obtained successful… Show more
