Abstract
Bimetallic Pd–Ru/C catalyst was shown to be much more active in the aqueous-phase hydrogenation of furfural (473 K, 8 MPa) in comparison with both Pd/C and Ru/C catalysts. The enhanced hydrogenation activity manifested itself as an increased yield of cyclopentanol (77%) at a complete conversion of furfural. The observed synergistic effect between palladium and ruthenium in the tested reaction can be related to changes in the electronic state and particle size of supported metals upon interaction with each other and the Pd–Ru alloy formation.
