A New Process for the Production of 1,4-Butanediol
1,4-butanediol is an important chemical raw material,and the main process methods are maleic anhydride process and Leber process.This paper presents a novel process for producing 1,4-butanediol.Compared with the traditional method,the process described in this paper offers several advantages,including a straightforward process route,moderate reaction conditions,energy efficiency,and environmental friendliness and high added value tetrahydrofuran as by-product.The new process method is expected to improve the market competitiveness of the product while improving the production efficiency,reducing the cost and environmental impact.This cutting-edge procedure is anticipated to emerge as a key development direction for the manufacturing of 1,4-butanediol in the forthcoming years.
