Development of a commercial process to produce 1,4-butanediol and tetrahydrofuran
This thesis details the experimental programme and research into the formation of 1,4-butanediol and tetrahydrofuran from a novel feedstock dialkylmaleate. This encompassed the evaluation of a range of heterogeneous copper-based catalysts (containing chromium) and subsequent selection and optimisati...
