Furaldehyde Hydrogenation Catalyst

Product Overview

This furaldehyde hydrogenation catalyst is specifically designed for the industrial hydrogenation process that reduces furaldehyde to furanol. Furaldehyde is derived from the dehydration of pentosan in agricultural byproducts, and through catalytic hydrogenation, it is converted into furanol. Furanol is widely used in the production of furan resins, such as urea-formaldehyde furan resin and phenolic furan resin. These resins are essential in applications including casting, pharmaceuticals, and anti-corrosion coatings.

Key Features

• High Catalytic Activity: Effectively catalyzes the hydrogenation of furaldehyde, ensuring high furanol yield.
• Excellent Stability: The catalyst offers superior stability, enabling long-term operation under high-pressure hydrogen and high-temperature conditions.
• Low Operating Cost: Only a small amount of catalyst is required per ton of furaldehyde, lowering catalyst usage costs.
• High Selectivity: Efficiently converts furaldehyde to furanol with minimal side products, ensuring high product purity.
• Strong Adaptability: Suitable for large-scale industrial production with simple operation and versatile for various process needs.

Applications

• Furan Resin Production: As a primary raw material for resins such as urea-formaldehyde, phenolic, and ketone-formaldehyde resins, it is used in molding and core-making processes in casting production.
• Anti-corrosion Resin Manufacturing: Used in the production of anti-corrosion resins, widely applied in corrosion-resistant coatings for construction, transportation, and other industries.
• Pharmaceutical Raw Materials: Serves as a raw material in the pharmaceutical industry.
• Chemical Raw Materials: Used in the synthesis and processing of other chemicals, offering broad industrial applications.
