liquid phase hydrogenation method this method is to use a bubbling reactor to suspend the catalyst in furfural, using Cu-CrCa series catalyst, chromium calcium from copper nitrate [Cu(N03)2.3H2 0], chromic ammonium acid [(NH4)2 Cr04], calcium nitrate [Ca(N03)2- 4H2 0] and NH3-H20, at 190~210 ℃, medium pressure (5 ~ 8MPa), obtained by hydrogenation reaction.

the reaction temperature of gas phase hydrogenation method is low, and the length-diameter ratio of the tubular reactor used can reach 100; The material passes through the bottom layer of the catalyst with piston flow pattern, which is beneficial to the inhibition of secondary hydrogenation, because of the high selectivity of the reaction, low consumption, basically eliminate the chromium pollution.

konizarol method (self-oxidation-reduction method) furfural reacts with sodium hydroxide, half is reduced to 2-Furanmethanol, and the other half is oxidized to the sodium salt of furoic acid.
