Furfural

Furfural is formed by hydrolysis of pentosan to produce pentose under the action of acid, and then dehydration and cyclization of pentose. The main raw materials for production are corncob and other agricultural and sideline products. Chemically, furfural is an organic compound, belonging to furan aldehyde. It has an odor similar to almond oil, and is a liquid that will oxidize and turn pale yellow when exposed to air.

99% Furfural is an essential renewable, non-petroleum based, chemical feedstock which is primarily composed of various agricultural byproducts, including oat husks, wheat bran, corncobs, and sawdust. Chemically, furfural is an organic compound belonging to an aldehyde of furan with the odor of almonds. It is typically produced for industrial purposes, which can be used as a selective solvent in the process of refining lubricating oils and used in the manufacture of transportation fuels to improve the characteristics of diesel fuel and catalytic cracker recycle stocks.
