The effect of Br- and alkali in enhancing the oxidation of furfural to maleic acid with hydrogen peroxide
This study was focused on investigating a novel catalytic system for the selective conversion of furfural to maleic acid (MA) in an aqueous system with hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. A series of experiments that study the impacts of catalyst species, furfural concentration, catalyst dosage, reaction temperature, residue time, hydrogen peroxide concentration, excess water content, and solvent...
