Abstract
Description
(1) Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF), in particular to a method using fructose as a starting material and using Ru / C and Lewis-Bronster mixed acid as a catalyst, A method for preparing 2,5-DMF in one step. (2) Background technology
[0002] 2,5-DMF prepared by hydrogenolysis of the platform compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) obtained from the hydrolysis of carbohydrates is considered to be the most promising renewable biomass energy. Compared with traditional biomass energy-ethanol, 2,5-DMF has a higher boiling point (92-94°C vs. 78.4°C), higher octane number (119vs.111), easier to mix with gasoline, and more High energy density (31.5kJ·cm -3 vs. 23kJ·cm -3 ). At the same time, the vapor latent heat of 2,5-DMF is lower (0.30kJ·cm -3 vs. 0.71kJ·cm -3 ), the energy consumed by rectification and purification is lower.
[0003] The main method of producing 2,5-DMF is to catalyze the hydrogenolysis of ...
