A brief history of high pressure catalytic hydrogenation is discussed which includes equipment used and types of catalyst with regard to performance w-ithin certain pressure and temperature ranges, economy, and selectivity. Furan and furfural are versatile compounds, and a partial review of the literature lists a large number of interesting derivatives which may be prepared by the introduction of hydrogen into their molecules. Results obtained on the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol and to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in the pilot plant and on a commerdial basis are included.
