Furfural is an organic compound derived primarily from agricultural byproducts like corncobs, oat husks, and sawdust. Characterized by its almond-like odor, furfural is a colorless oily liquid that darkens upon exposure to air and light. It is produced through the acid hydrolysis of pentosan-containing plant materials, which are then dehydrated to form furfural. This process typically involves using a mineral acid, such as sulfuric acid, under heat.
Furfural serves as a critical building block in the manufacture of various chemical products, including furan resins, furfuryl alcohol, and tetrahydrofuran, which are integral to the plastics and pharmaceutical industries. Its importance extends to its use as a solvent in the refining of lubricating oils and butadiene extraction. Benefits of furfural include its selectivity as a solvent due to its non-petroleum base, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
