Problems solved by technology

[0005] To sum up, there are problems in the preparation of GVL by the current process, such as high cost of microbial reduction method, harsh catalyst preparation and reaction conditions in the patent of catalytic hydrogenation method, difficult recovery of catalyst, or large loading of precious metals, making it difficult to adapt to large-scale industrial production. Production
In addition, the use of non-precious metal patented methods, due to the acidity of the raw material levulinic acid itself, causes the problem of rapid decline in catalyst activity and the problem of corrosion to the reactor in gas-phase hydrogenation, which ultimately leads to higher production costs, poor efficiency, and safety.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing gamma-valerolactone by acetylpropionic acid catalytic hydrogenation. Through high efficiency catalysis of levulinic acid hydrogenation based on a loaded ruthenium catalyst under mild conditions, gamma-valerolactone is prepared. The method has a levulinic acid conversion rate of 100% and gamma-valerolactone selectivity of 99.9%. The loaded ruthenium catalyst has a low active metal load capacity (less than 1.5w.t.%) and high activity (TOF, 7676h<1>), has good water and acid resistance and is suitable for an intermittent reactor and a continuous fixed bed reactor. The method solves the problem that the existing gamma-valerolactone preparation method needs a high temperature and high pressure and utilizes organic acids and bases and an organic solvent, improves preparation method economy and safety, utilizes a small amount of a catalyst, realizes catalyst recycle, has a high product yield and product separation easiness, and has a latent industrial application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomass conversion, and relates to a method for preparing gamma-valerolactone by catalyzing the hydrogenation of levulinic acid. Background technique [0002] Resource shortage and environmental pollution have become two prominent problems in the development of human society. The key to the sustainable development of human beings is to provide enough energy, food and chemicals for the ever-increasing population without endangering the earth environment on which we live. Crude oil, natural gas and coal are important energy and chemical raw materials. They can be converted into fuels and chemicals needed by people through a series of chemical reactions, but they cannot be regenerated. Among renewable energy and resources, solar energy, water energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, ocean energy, etc. can be efficiently converted into electricity or hydrogen energy, promising to solve energy problems, but th...
