Tetrahydrofuran from Caustic-Washed Furan Hydrogenated over Nickel on Kieselguhr (Banford and Manes, du Pont, US 2,846,449)
Furan from furfural carries a little carbon dioxide and water that distilling does not remove, and they hold back the hydrogenation. Banford and Manes washed the furan with dilute potash first; then nickel on kieselguhr turned nearly all of it into tetrahydrofuran.
Result: tetrahydrofuran, conversion raised from 85-90 % to 97 %.

Check the conversion
Washed furan gives about 97 % tetrahydrofuran; unwashed only 85-90 %. Raising the feed to 105 C does not help unwashed furan.
