A novel route for synthesis of gamma-butyrolactone through the coupling of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation.
A coupling process of the hydrogenation of maleic anhydride and the dehydrogenation of 1,4-butanediol has been invented for the synthesis of gamma-butyrolactone over a Cu-Zn catalyst, realizing optimal hydrogen utilization and better energy efficiency.
