This report shows that furfuryl alcohol can be selectively produced from the hydrogenation of furfural using supported Pd nanoparticles. Furfuryl alcohol is widely used as solvent and chemical intermediate for the synthesis of fine chemicals. Here, various Pd nanoparticles supported on mesoporous SiO2(Pd/SiO2) were simply fabricated by a wet impregnation using palladium nitrate. Physical properties of Pd/SiO2nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive, X-ray analysis, N2adsorption and desorption isotherms and transmission electron microscopy. Results show a high dispersion of Pd nanoparticles with small size. Pd nanoparticles catalyzed very efficiently the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol with 76 % selectivity under mild conditions. Overall, the catalyst developed could find applications for the production of chemicals from biomass.
