The invention discloses a method for preparing 
furfuryl alcohol by 
formic acid transfer and hydrogenation of 
furfural, and relates to a preparation method for the 
furfuryl alcohol. The method comprises the following steps: adding a reaction substance to an 
organic solvent, and preparing reactant solution; mixing the reactant solution, an 
anhydrous formic acid and a catalyst in a reaction kettle, exhausting the air, to obtain the 
furfuryl alcohol after a 
hydrogenation reaction. Pd / C and CuO are used as a composite catalyst, and the 
formic acid is used as a 
hydrogen donor. In an organic solventsystem, the furfuryl 
alcohol is prepared through decomposing the formic acid to generate 
hydrogen and catalyzing the 
furfural for the reduction. The whole process is simple, the operation is easy, theconsumed time is short, the cost is low, the 
reaction system is green, the catalyst activity is high, and the furfuryl 
alcohol yield is high. In addition, the 
reaction system is capable of effectively solving a problem that the 
furfural and furfuryl 
alcohol in an acid 
system are easily polymerized, and has the extensive industrial application prospect.
