    Abstract: A novel approach for the conversion of biomass based hemicellulose prehydrolysate to high value succinic acid has been investigated using a heterogeneous acid catalyst, Amberlyst 15 and hydrogen peroxide. A vital intermediate in this process, furfural, was oxidized in a biphasic system to produce succinic acid. Production of furfural in good yields is a limiting step in such processes for a number of reasons. Among the organic solvents evaluated, toluene was found to be an ideal solvent for furfural extraction and facilitated the conversion of furfural to succinic acid. Simultaneous extraction of furfural into the organic solvent as it is produced, increased the overall yield. It was observed that the developed method resulted in a succinic acid yield of 49% from the furfural obtained from hemicellulose prehydrolysate. It was found that 50 mg of Amberlyst 15 per mmole of furfural resulted in 100% FA conversion in less time.

    Abstract: This invention provides a method for preparing ethylene glycol by hydrolyzing ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. The method comprises passing a fresh raw material containing ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and water through a reaction zone loaded with a solid acid catalyst to react under the following conditions; separating the reacted mixture via a separation system to obtain a target product of ethylene glycol, by-products containing methanol, dimethyl ether and ethylene glycol-based derivatives, and an unreacted raw material containing ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and water; passing the target product of ethylene glycol into a product collection system; and passing methyl alcohol and dimethyl ether in the by-products into a by-product collection system; and after being mixed with the fresh raw materials containing ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and water, the ethylene glycol-based derivatives in the by-products and the unreacted raw material containing ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and water being recycled into the reaction zone, to realize the preparation of ethylene glycol by hydrolyzing ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. This invention provides a new process to realize the preparation of ethylene glycol by hydrolyzing ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. And in the method, the catalyst has long life and good stability.
