Hydrodeoxygenation of acetone-furfural condensation adducts over alumina-supported noble metal catalysts

- Total hydrodeoxygenation of furfural-acetone condensation adducts.
- Alumina-supported rhodium, ruthenium, palladium and platinum catalysts.
- Platinum catalyst is the most active and selective for total HDO.
- Simplified kinetic model proposed based on selectivity-conversion patterns.
