Estudios de adsorción y desorción de furfural en lecho fijo empleando resinas poliaromáticas Alonso Arranz, Helena Ruiz Pérez, María Olga Blanco Alcalde, Beatriz Universidad de Burgos. Facultad de Ciencias Furfural Adsorción Agua subcrítica Residuos de maíz Biorrefinería Adsorption Subcritical water Corn waste Biorefinery Ingeniería Química Química Alimentos Chemical Engineering Chemistry Food En este trabajo se ha estudiado la viabilidad de la adsorción con la resina polimérica amberlite XAD-4 como proceso de purificación para la recuperación de furfural de hidrolizados en agua subcrítica obtenidos a partir de rastrojo de maíz. Se analizó el equilibrio de adsorción, obteniéndose una isoterma de adsorción física monocapa favorable para concentraciones de resina superiores al 2 % (p/v). También se examinó el equilibrio de desorción para seleccionar un agente de desorción adecuado, optándose finalmente por el agua. Después de realizar diversos estudios cinéticos con soluciones acuosas sintéticas de furfural, se determinaron las condiciones óptimas para los procesos de adsorción/desorción en un sistema de lecho fijo y se aplicaron al hidrolizado de agua subcrítica. Se alcanzó un rendimiento del 74,03% en la etapa de adsorción y del 91% en la de desorción. Se obtuvo un rendimiento global de extracción de furfural cercano al 60% con una pureza del 99%. Corn is the second most abundant cereal crop in the world, growing more than 1100 million tonnes in 2022 and 3,6 million tonnes in Spain. Its stem and leaves have a rich composition in hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin, making the use of corn waste a more sustainable alternative as lignocellulosic biomass for furfural production. Furfural is an aromatic aldehyde with several applications such as being a great fungicidal agent, removing aromatic compounds from diesel or its use as raw material in the production of succinic acid, tetrahydrofuran or furoic acids. Furfural is industrially produced through an acid-base homogeneous catalysis. First, a sulphuric acid hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass followed by purification process. In this work, the feasibility of adsorption as a downstream purification process for the recovery of furfural from subcritical water hydrolysates from corn solid waste was studied. The adsorption equilibrium was studied, obtaining a favorable single-layer physical adsorption isotherm for resin concentrations above 2 % (w/v) and determining the negative influence of temperature on the process. Desorption equilibrium was studied to choose the appropriate desorption agent, ultimately going for water. After various kinetic studies with aqueous solutions of furfural, optimal conditions for adsorption/desorption processes in fixed-bed were determined, which were applied to the subcritical water hydrolysate. A yield of 74,03 % was obtained for the adsorption stage and 91, % for desorption, althougt the latter was the limiting stage of the process. A total yield of furfural extraction of nearly 60 % and a purity of 99 % were obtained. 2025-09-18T06:34:32Z 2025-09-18T06:34:32Z 2024-03-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesis info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion https://hdl.handle.net/10259/10883 spa Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf
