ABSTRACT
Twenty high-boiling hydrophobic solvents were assessed as furfural extraction solvent. 2-sec-Butylphenol with a high furfural partition coefficient, good thermostability, and nonazeotropic property with furfural was chosen as an extraction solvent of furfural for further experimental study. The mutual solubilities for the water 2-sec-butylphenol system were measured in the temperature range of (303.15 to 483.15) K at 2.5*10^6 Pa by a static method. The results showed that the solubility data were well correlated with a quadratic equation of temperature. The partition coefficients for furfural and formic acid in the water 2-sec-butylphenol system were measured with the same conditions and methods, respectively. The results indicated that the partition coefficient data were temperature dependent and could be well correlated with the van t Hoff equation. This study will have positive influence on further experiments concerning biphasic reaction extraction of furfural and the future industrial production of furfural.
