5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and furfural (FF) have been confirmed as valuable biomass-derived fuel precursors suitable for catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) to produce high octane fuel additives such dimethyl furan (DMF) and methyl furan (MF), respectively. In order to realize economically viable production of DMF and MF from biomass, catalytic processes with high yields, low catalyst costs, and process simplicity are needed. In this work, we demonstrate simultaneous co-processing of HMF and FF over Cu-Ni/TiO₂ catalysts, achieving 87.5% yield of DMF from HMF and 88.5% yield of MF from FF in a one pot reaction. The Cu-Ni/TiO₂ catalyst also exhibited improved stability and regeneration compared to Cu/TiO₂ and Cu/Al₂O₃ catalysts for FF HDO, exhibiting a ~7% loss in FF conversion over 4 sequential recycles, compared to a ~50% loss in FF coversion for Cu/Al₂O₃ and a ~30% loss in coversion for Cu/TiO₂. Characterization of the Cu-Ni/TiO₂ catalyst by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy, and H₂-Temperature Programmed Reduction and comparison to monometallic Cu and Ni on Al₂O₃ and TiO₂ and bimetallic Cu-Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts suggest that the unique reactivity and stability of Cu-Ni/TiO₂ derives from support-induced metal segregation in which Cu is selectively enriched at the catalyst surface, while Ni is enriched at the TiO₂ interface. Our findings demonstrate that Cu-Ni/TiO₂ catalysts promise to be a catalyst system capable of integrating directly with a combined HMF and FF product stream from biomass processing to realize lower cost production of liquid fuels from biomass.
