The invention discloses a method for preparing
furaldehyde from a steam exploded stalk rinse solution catalyzed by using
solid acid with an added
polymerization inhibitor. The invention belongs to the technical field of bio-based
chemical preparation. According to the invention,
solid acid is used for replacing traditional strong acid in catalyzing
pentose in steam exploded stalk rinse solution to subject to a cyclodehydration reaction, such that
furaldehyde is prepared. During the reaction process, the
polymerization inhibitor is added, such that side-reactions are inhibited. With modifications of the conditions, a maximum yield of
furaldehyde reaches 37.5%, which is 68.1% of a theoretic yield. After the reaction, the
solid catalyst can be repeatedly used, and can be reclaimed after high-
temperature treatment. With the method, fractionated high-value utilization of three components of the stalks is realized. The
solid acid is easy to be separated from a product, and can be reclaimed and reused, such that equipment
corrosion can be avoided, and three-waste discharging can be reduced. With the added
polymerization inhibitor, furaldehyde yield can be substantially improved. With the method for preparing furaldehyde from steam exploded stalk rinse solution catalyzed by using
solid acid with added polymerization inhibitor, clean and high-efficiency conversion of the stalks is realized, such that a development trend of current green industries is satisfied. Therefore, the method has wide application prospect.
