Selective hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF) over Ru, Ni, and Co mono and bimetallic catalysts supported on carbon and carbon nanotube

The main objective of this thesis is to develop better catalysts for the hydrogenation of 5- hydroxymethylfurfural, HMF into high quality liquid fuel 2, 5- dimethylfuran (DMF) or partly hydrogenating compounds. This could be achieved by exploiting the support effect and using CNTs to improve activit...
