Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING 100% PLANT-DERIVED SYNTHETIC PRODUCT FROM FURFURAL AND SYNTHETIC PRODUCT OF THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/059013
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is technology for the efficient production of a plant-derived fumaric acid and/or a fumaric acid derivative using as the starting material furfural obtained from renewable plant-based resources that have grown as a result of absorbing the CO2 in the air. Also provided is technology for performing chemical synthesis in order to readily produce a synthetic product of (i) a 100% plant-derived succinic acid and/or a succinic acid derivative and (ii) a 100% plant-derived 1,4-butanediol for instance. A method for producing a plant-derived fumaric acid and/or a fumaric acid derivative by oxidation of a plant-derived furfural further comprises a product recovery process which includes: a step for removing the solid product from an oxidation reaction solution after oxidation; a step for subjecting the oxidation reaction solution from which the solid product has been removed to heating within a temperature range of 70ºC to less than the reaction solvent reflux temperature while at least a portion of the oxidation reaction solution is removed; and a step for cooling the oxidation reaction solution from which at least a portion thereof has been removed, and filtering and recovering the product.
