Sylvan - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of furfural (or furfuryl alcohol). The above hydrogenation catalyst is a copper-aluminum alloy or a copper-chromium alloy, and alkali is used as a co-catalyst at a pressure of 0. 29~0. 49MPa, temperature 200~210 ℃, hydrogen and furfural ratio of 10:1(mol), furfural feeding rate of 0. 3kg/L.h. Under such conditions, it is obtained by hydrogenation in the gas phase. The reaction product is then condensed, the water is distilled off, and the finished product is obtained by rectification. The average yield of 2 methyl furan was more than 50%.
