Abstract

In this work, the possibility of Miscanthus as renewable lignocellulosic biomass was evaluated for production of furfural. Also, to find the reaction conditions of furfural production from Miscanthus straw, the effects of solid-to-liquid ratio, reaction temperature, catalyst amount, and reaction time were investigated. Finally, 5.1 g/L furfural was produced from Miscanthus straw in the condition of solid-to-liquid ratio at 1:10, reaction temperature at $150^{\circ}C$, sulfuric acid at 3%, and reaction time of 60 minutes. This result will provide basic knowledge for converting renewable resources into valuable chemicals substituted for fossil fuels.

본 연구는 재생가능한 목질계 바이오매스 자원인 억새를 이용한 푸르프랄의 생산가능성을 평가하였다. 또한, 억새줄기로부터 푸르프랄의 생산을 위한 반응조건을 찾기 위하여 고/액 비, 반응온도, 촉매량, 그리고 반응시간의 영향을 조사하였다. 최종적으로 억새로부터 1:10의 고/액 비, 반응온도 $150^{\circ}C$, 3% 황산, 그리고 반응시간 60분의 반응조건에서 5.1 g/L의 푸르프랄을 생산하였다. 이러한 결과는 재생가능한 자원으로부터 석유를 대체할 수 있는 귀중한 화학물질로 전환할 수 있는 기초 정보를 제공하는 것이다.
