Furfural
Furfural is the base chemical of today’s furan chemistry. It
can be produced from virtually any agricultural waste material
by acid catalysed digestion of hemicelluloses. This process
can be considered as one of the oldest forms of chemical
biorefinery. About 70% of the world production of FF is
converted to furfuryl alcohol. Furfural is also used as an
extractant, solvent and chemical feedstock for other furan
chemicals.
Furfuryl alcohol (FA)
Furfuryl alcohol is the main derivative of furfural produced by
a catalytic hydrogenation. This bio-alcohol finds a large
application base in the formulation of foundry and refractory
thermoset resins.
