Catalyst for catalytic oxidation of furfural to prepare maleic acid and application thereof

Abstract

A catalyst for catalytic oxidation of furfural to prepare maleic acid, relating to the technical field of renewable energy. The catalyst is a mixture of a bromide and a base. A method for preparing the catalyst in catalytic oxidation of furfural to prepare maleic acid. The method includes: mixing the furfural, the bromide-base, an oxidant and a solvent to carry out a reaction to obtain the maleic acid. The present invention has the advantages that the method has a relatively high conversion rate of furfural and a relatively high yield of maleic acid, the conversion rate of furfural is up to 99%, the yield of maleic acid is up to 68.04%; and the catalyst has a high catalytic selectivity and reusability.
