  • Patent number: 10253008
    Abstract: The present invention is aimed to provide an industrially advantageous method for producing a furan compound, in which a furan compound can be efficiently obtained in a high selectivity from a furfural compound. The present invention is concerned with a method for producing a furan compound including feeding, as a raw material, a furfural composition containing a furfural compound into a reactor and subjecting to a decarbonylation reaction in the presence of a catalyst to obtain a furan compound as a product, wherein a furfural dimer concentration in the furfural composition is 1,000 ppm by weight or less, and a peroxide value in the furfural composition is 0.01 mEq/kg or more and 1.0 mEq/kg or less.

  • Publication number: 20130295363
    Abstract: A method for producing a metal nitride by employing a container made of a nonoxide material, wherein reaction or adhesion of a raw metal or metal nitride to be formed to the container can be avoided and inclusion of oxygen derived from the material of the container can be prevented; by securing a certain or larger supply amount and a certain or higher flow rate of the nitrogen source gas, the raw metal can be converted into a nitride with an extremely high conversion, and a metal nitride having a small amount of an unreacted raw metal remaining and containing a metal and nitrogen in a stoichiometric constant can be obtained with a high yield; a metal nitride having small amounts of unreacted raw metal remaining and oxygen included can be obtained with a high yield and is very useful as a raw material for bulk crystal growth.

  • Publication number: 20080193363
    Abstract: To provide a method for efficiently producing a high quality metal nitride containing a small amount of impurities, particularly gallium nitride. A method for producing a metal nitride characterized by employing a container made of a nonoxide material. By using a nonoxide for a material of a container to be in contact with a raw metal or a metal nitride to be formed, reaction or adhesion of the raw metal or the metal nitride to be formed to the container can be avoided, and inclusion of oxygen derived from the material of the container can be prevented, whereby a high quality metal nitride having high crystallinity will be obtained. By securing a certain or larger supply amount and a certain or higher flow rate of the nitrogen source gas, the raw metal can be converted into a nitride with an extremely high conversion, and a metal nitride having a small amount of an unreacted raw metal remaining and containing a metal and nitrogen in a stoichiometric constant can be obtained with a high yield.
