Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing GAMMA-valerolactone from levulinic acid and formic acid, which is characterized in that the levulinic acid is in situ reduced at 100-200 DEG C in the presence of ruthenium catalyst and formic acid contained in a system as reducer, and distillation is carried out to obtain mixture containing the product GAMMA valerolactone and used catalyst; and mother liquor containing the used catalyst and raw material are mixed to realize circulation of the catalyst, thereby greatly improving environmental friendliness. The method avoids the energy source consumption during valerolactone purification process, avoids hydrogen source acquired from the system exterior, and improves the economy and security of a production system, with the advantages of simple operation process. The formic acid is decomposed to generate large amount of carbon dioxide besides hydrogen, which is convenient for collection and utilization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of methods for producing vehicle fuel from biomass, in particular to a method for preparing gamma-valerolactone by in-situ hydrogenation reduction and lactonization of biomass carbohydrates. Background technique [0002] The use of carbohydrates derived from biomass to produce vehicle fuel was first proposed in the 1970s. But so far, only one kind of bioethanol has been industrialized. However, the production of bioethanol from starch will cause food problems, and there are still obstacles in engineering using cellulose as raw material. Therefore, the production of other biofuels from carbohydrates is receiving increasing attention. [0003] γ-valerolactone is one of the candidate compounds, which is an ideal natural product not only for the production of fuels, but also for the production of chemicals and polymer materials. γ-valerolactone has the following excellent properties: [0004] 1. Low toxicity...
