This invention provides a method for preparing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in an acidic
system, belonging to the field of bio-based
chemical preparation. It is a method for synthesizing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by
catalytic oxidation of 2,5-diformylfuran in an acidic environment. The method uses 2,5-diformylfuran as a
raw material and employs an aqueous / organic two-phase catalytic
system, using
hydrogen peroxide to oxidize 2,5-diformylfuran to prepare 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. In this invention, the
raw material 2,5-diformylfuran and the catalyst are dissolved in the organic phase, the aqueous phase is acidic, and the oxidation product 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid precipitates in the aqueous phase. High-purity 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid can be obtained by simple
filtration. The catalyst in the organic phase can be recycled multiple times. This invention does not use
precious metal catalysts, does not require the addition of additional inorganic bases before or after the reaction, has simple product separation, generates little waste, and has broad application prospects.
