Furfural, a key precursor for nitrofuran antibiotics, is a fragile biomass-derived compound. Traditional methods often lead to poor yields, inconsistent reproducibility, and significant safety risks.

Researchers from The University of Osaka develop an efficient non-precious metal catalyst, facilitating biomass-derived ...

Researchers at Osaka University develop a cost-effective, high-yield method of converting plant waste into valuable THF compounds.

Cedar Rapids firefighters watch over the Nov. 3, 1978, fire that damaged the Quaker building where furfural residue was stored. Production of the organic compound had to halt while repairs were made.

Researchers at the University of Liège (BE) have designed a high-performance, open-access continuous flow process to safely produce key antibacterial drugs from bio-based furfural. The results of ...

Furfural is used for binding components such as adhesive. India's northeastern region is rich with bamboo cultivation. NRL has a 50% stake in the project. "There are no buyers of bamboo in the ...

“We will initially operate the digesters at a lower temperature and pressure and produce xylose; a non-hazardous pre-cursor to furfural. “This allows the final testing and checking of the ...

From maize cobs, their factory extracts furfural, acetic and formic acids. The byproducts have a wide range of uses, including as a jet fuel additive, textile products, oil-lubricant refining ...

The company confirmed in a release on February 17 that it will build a pilot plant using technology developed in-house to prove the feasibility of a future commercial furfural plant. The plant ...
