Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a production process of valeric acid, in particular to a method for producing valeric acid by hydrogenation of a bio-based platform compound levulinic acid as a raw material, belonging to the technical field of chemical industry. Background technique [0002] Levulinic acid, also known as 4-oxopentanoic acid or levotranic acid, is one of 12 biobased platform compounds designated by the U.S. Department of Energy. There are two ways to generate levulinic acid: one is dehydration of six-carbon sugar (the main structural unit of cellulose) to obtain 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and hydrolysis of HMF obtains levulinic acid and formic acid in equimolar amounts; the other is Five-carbon sugar (the main structural unit of hemicellulose) is dehydrated to furfural, furfural is hydrogenated to obtain furfuryl alcohol, and furfuryl alcohol is hydrolyzed or alcoholysed to obtain levulinic acid or levulinic acid ester. The levulinic acid ...
