Abstract

The present invention relates to a metal catalyst composition for producing furfural derivatives from raw materials of lignocellulosic biomass, and method for producing furfural derivatives using the composition. The present invention comprises ruthenium chloride (RuCl3) and chromium chloride (CrCl2). The chromium chloride (CCl2) is from 300 to 500 parts by weight on the basis of 100 parts by weight of the ruthenium chloride (RuCl3). Unlike conventional furfural derivatives producing process that should go through multi step processes such as pre-process, saccharification process, etc, the present invention has an advantage of producing furfural derivatives from lignocellulosic raw material only through simple reaction process in one reaction apparatus by mixing various kinds of metal catalyst at an optimum ratio.
