Introduction of Furfural

Furfural is a compound produced by the reaction of biomass rich in pentose sugars in hemicellulose under strong acid catalysis. Used as a potential platform for the production of biofuels. In recent years, furfural has received special attention as a potential platform for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Renewable Energy, furfural was selected as one of 30 major chemicals that could be produced from biomass. Industrially, it is a versatile chemical as it has several uses: it is used as a raw material for the production of phenolic resins, or it can be converted into furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, furan, tetrahydrofuran and diols.

Under the concept of economic cycle, the study of reaction zone in furfural production is important because it can reduce the excessive use of water, high energy consumption and the formation of decomposition products by reducing the cost of separation.

In addition to furfural, our company also has products such as dibenzoylmethane and Hydroxyethyl Cellulose.
