Problems solved by technology

[0006] The main shortcomings of the above technology: 1) although the catalysts used have higher activity and selectivity, some contain noble metals, and some contain highly toxic and polluting Cr components, and the use of noble metals makes the catalyst cost high, while the Cr components Distributed to production personnel and the environment have caused great harm
The catalysts described in these patents all support two or more noble metal elements on the activated carbon carrier, and the total content of noble metals is relatively high, generally greater than 5% of the total mass of the catalyst, making the catalyst manufacturing cost higher; and using these more Precious metal catalysts must be under very high pressure conditions, generally higher than 15.0MPa, in order to obtain a good yield of tetrahydrofuran, high pressure operation not only increases the equipment investment but also increases the difficulty of operation

Abstract

A process for preparing gamma-butyrolactone and tetrahydrofuran from 1,4-butanediol features that in H2 atmosphere the 1,4-butanediol is in contact with the catalyst CuTiaAlbOc at 170-300 deg.C under 0.1-1 MPa, where a=0-1.5, b=0.04-2, c is the number of oxygen atoms. Said catalyst has high activity and selectivity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing gamma-butyrolactone and tetrahydrofuran in one step from 1,4-butanediol. technical background [0002] γ-butyrolactone is an important organic chemical product. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of butyric acid compounds, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methionine, vitamin B1 and brain rehabilitation. It is a suitable solvent for acrylate and styrene polymers. Can be used as a useful ingredient in paint cleaners and textile auxiliaries. [0003] Known methods for preparing gamma-butyrolactone are mainly divided into two classes, one is the gas-phase hydrogenation of maleic anhydride or its ester to prepare gamma-butyrolactone, such as US 4,584,419; US 3,853,922; US 3,829,448; CN 1034541A stated. The other is the catalytic dehydrogenation of 1,4-butanediol to γ-butyrolactone, and the relevant technologies in this regard will be described below. [0004] 1, 4-butanediol catalytic dehydrogenation system gamma-...
