- Abstract
The processes of furfural hydrogenation in the alcohol solutions over copper-ruthenium and platinum catalysts were studied. The equilibrium of acetals formation is shown to establish in the solutions. Both substances, furfural and the acetals of furfural are hydrogenated in the system. The acetals hydrogenation produces alkylfurfuryl ethers, and selectivity of their formation attains 30 and 60 % over platinum and copper-ruthenium catalysts, correspondingly. Furfuryl alcohol and 2-methylfuran are formed among other products. Tetrahydrofuran analogues of the furfural acetals, furfuryl alcohol, and 2-methylfuran are also formed over the platinum catalysts
