The results proved that the addition of this promoter had a remarkable impact on the catalytic performance. The conversion of furfuraldehyde enhanced up to 83% and the furfuryl alcohol selectivity remained above 96% over the run length on the promoted Cu-Ca-MgO catalyst. However, the conversion level decreased to 60% after 240 min of operation period which was still superior with respect to the negligible conversion with the non-promoted Cu-MgO catalyst.  }, number={1}, journal={Iranian Journal of Catalysis}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={furfuraldehyde, Promoting effects of calcium on the performance of Cu-MgO catalyst in hydrogenation of and furfuraldehyde, Promoting effects of calcium on the performance of Cu-MgO catalyst in hydrogenation of and furfuraldehyde, Promoting effects of calcium on the performance of Cu-MgO catalyst in hydrogenation of and furfuraldehyde, Promoting effects of calcium on the performance of Cu-MgO catalyst in hydrogenation of}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={Heterogeneous catalyst, Hydrogenation, Furfuraldehyde, Cu-MgO, Calcium promoter, Biomonomer, Furfuryl alcohol} }
