Abstract
Furfural is produced through hydrolysis of the hemi-cellulose in corn stover. Furfural may also be produced from other biomass. The direct conversion of furfural to mono-alcohols which can be blended with gasoline is an attractive chemical process for providing biomass into the liquid fuel supply. Examples of such alcohols include 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. Preferred alcohols include C-4 and C-5 mono-alcohols that have suitable blending properties.
