Abstract

The production of amine intermediates from biomass is capturing increasing attention. Herein, an efficient conversion of furfural to furfural amine over RuCo/AC catalyst under hydrothermal conditions has been investigated. The effects of different carriers, bimetals, and reaction conditions were systematically investigated in green solvents (water). Fully conversion of furfural and high furfural amine yield (92.13%) at 80 ℃ for 1 h over 4Ru1Co/AC. The excellent catalytic performance of 4Ru1Co/AC was attributed to its high acidity and good hydrogenation ability, as well as the synergistic effect between Ru-Co alloy formations and the activated carbon. Importantly, the highly selective preparation of furfural to furfural amine is a promising way to high-value utilization of cellulosic biomass in green solvents.
