Solid-State Kinetic Modeling and Experimental Validation of Cu-Fe Bimetallic Catalyst Synthesis and Its Application to Furfural Hydrogenation by Bárbara Jazmín Lino Galarza, Javier Rivera De la Rosa, Eduardo Maximino Sánchez Cervantes, Carlos J. Lucio-Ortiz, Marco Antonio Garza-Navarro, Carolina Solís Maldonado, Ramón Moreno-Tost, Juan Antonio Cecilia-Buenestado, Antonia Infantes Molina

“…The first part of this study aims to address this gap by employing analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal and gravimetric (TGA), thermoprogrammed oxidation and reduction. These were used to track the evolution of the different crystalline phases formed for CuFe-Bulk and CuFe/Al₂O₃ catalysts, as well as hydrogen thermoprogrammed reduction (H₂-TPR), to evaluate the reducibility of the oxide phases. …”
