Catalytic conversion of furfural towards fuel biocomponents
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 9
Abstract
This article presents a review of some furan compounds, derived from biomass, having a high potential for the synthesis of valuable biochemicals. In this paper we mainly focused on the catalytic preparation methods and properties of furfural derivatives which can be used as fuel bio-components or biofuel itself.
