Abstract

A method of preparing levulinates by utilizing furfuryl alcohol is disclosed. The method adopts the furfuryl alcohol that is a biomass derivative as a raw material, adopts a metal oxide as a catalyst, and includes reacting in a sealed manner in a reactor at 100-300 DEG C for 10-80 min. The highest yields of methyl levulinate, ethyl levulinate or n-butyl levulinate in different solvent systems can be 73%, 83% and 86% respectively. The method can efficiently synthesize the levulinates with high selectivity. The biomass derivative that is rich in reserve in the nature, wide in distribution and reproducible is adopted as the raw material, thus avoiding consumption of a large amount of fossil fuels. The method is free of preparation of complex catalysts and simple in operation, alcohols are adopted as solvents, and reactants are low in environment pollution and high in conversion ratio, thus facilitating industrial production. The levulinates which are products can be widely used as green solvents, perfume, fuel additives, and the like, and can be adopted as intermediates for synthesizing other chemical products with high added value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of energy and chemical industry, and in particular relates to a method for preparing levulinate by using furfuryl alcohol, a biomass derivative. Background technique [0002] The excessive dependence and consumption of fossil energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas make human beings face serious energy and environmental crises. The development and utilization of renewable clean energy such as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, and biomass energy has attracted much attention. Biomass energy is currently the only clean and renewable organic carbon resource, and it has the advantages of low pollution, wide distribution, abundant sources, and large reserves. The effective use of biomass resources can alleviate human demand for fossil energy to a certain extent. At present, there have been some studies at home and abroad on the use of biomass derivatives furfuryl alcohol to prepare chemical products lev...
