The invention provides a method for producing furfuraldehyde from
pentose solution by adopting an impinging
stream reactor. The method for producing furfuraldehyde from
pentose solution by adopting the impinging
stream reactor comprises the following steps: introducing
pentose solution and an extraction agent into an impinging
stream reactor, reacting under the condition that furfuraldehyde is generated by virtue of pentose, cooling reaction
effluent, and layering, wherein an aqueous phase is formed at an upper layer, an extraction phase is formed at a lower layer, the aqueous phase can be recycled as water for
hydrolysis of
hemicellulose, the extraction phase enters an extraction agent regenerating
tower to be further separated,
phase splitting is carried out on products at
tower top to obtain recycled extraction agent and a small amount of recycled water, the extraction agent can be recycled, products at the bottom of the regenerating
tower enter a furfuraldehyde finished product tower to be further separated,
acetic acid and
formic acid are obtained at the top of the furfuraldehyde finished product tower, and furfuraldehyde is obtained at the bottom of the furfuraldehyde finished product tower; and
acetic acid and
formic acid enter an
acetic acid refining tower to be further separated,
formic acid is obtained at the top of the acetic acid refining tower, and acetic acid is obtained at the bottom of the acetic acid refining tower. The method for producing furfuraldehyde from pentose solution by adopting the impinging stream reactor has the advantages that the impinging stream reactor is adopted for producing furfuraldehyde,
mass transfer rate is high,
side reaction is hardly carried out, and yield of furfuraldehyde is increased; meanwhile, furfuraldehyde, acetic acid and formic acid are recycled, and no waste liquid is discharged, so that the method for producing furfuraldehyde from pentose solution by adopting the impinging stream reactor is an environment-friendly technology.
