Preparation of Furfural Converted from Xylose via Fixed Bed Catalyzation and Gas Phase Neutralization†

doi:10.7503/cjcu20180246

Abstract

Abstract:

Furfural was produced via fixed bed catalyzation and gas phase neutralization, in order to optimize the clean production process and solve the problem of the low resource utilization and environmental pollution in furfural industry. In the fixed bed catalytic process, the effects of acid concentration of catalyst sulfuric acid, the original concentration of xylose solution and added cocatalysts on the yield of furfural were investigated. In the gas phase neutralization process, the effects of metal cation and anion on the yield and the acidity of furfural were investigated. The results show that the yield of furfural can achieve 74.12% in the suitable conditions, which are 2 mol/L sulfuric acid, 10% xylose solution(mass fraction), 80 g NaCl. In the gas phase neutralization process, the influence of anion on the furfural yield is S$O^{2-}_{4}$>Cl^->C$O^{2-}_{3}$>OH^-, however, the metal cation had little effect. The acidity of furfural prepared by gas phase neutralization all conforms to the national standard GB/T 1926.1-2009.
