PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FURAN AND ITS DERIVATIVES

摘要

The present invention provides a process for the treatment of a liquid first furan stream comprising furan and carbon monoxide, said process comprising the steps of: i) contacting said first furan stream with a CO-lean first gaseous stream; and ii) stripping at least a portion of the carbon monoxide in the first furan stream into the first gaseous stream to produce a second furan stream comprising less carbon monoxide than the first furan stream and a CO-enriched second gaseous stream.
