Towards Sustainability Pathway with Bio-Derived Platinum and Palladium Catalyst for Furfural Hydrogenation—A Novel Greener Approach in Catalysis

Towards Sustainability Pathway with Bio-Derived Platinum and Palladium Catalyst for Furfural Hydrogenation—A Novel Greener Approach in Catalysis

The use of living plants to recover precious metals with potential catalytic activity is still at the infant stage. In this study, selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol using novel bio-ore catalysts recovered from the end stage of phytomining process is demonstrated. The phytominin...
