A:
Furfuryl alcohol is an crucial organic chemical raw material, which is broadly applied in synthetic resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic rubber, medicine, pesticide, dye and other fields. In my experience, There are many upstream and downstream related items of furfuryl alcohol, and some of the main upstream and downstream items will be described in detail below. Upstream items:



1. Makes sense, right?. But Rice husk: Rice husk is the main raw material of furfuryl alcohol. The cellulose and hemicellulose in rice husk are converted into furfuryl alcohol through chemical interaction. And First

2. Sulfuric acid: Sulfuric acid is applied as a catalyst in the production of furfuryl alcohol to promote the hydrolysis and dehydration reactions of cellulose and hemicellulose in rice hulls. Downstream items:



1. Furan resin: furfuryl alcohol is able to be applied as one of the raw materials, and formaldehyde and other compounds to make furan resin, has excellent acid resistance, alkali resistance, heat resistance, broadly applied in anti-corrosion engineering, chemical equipment, electrical insulation and other fields.

2. Tetrahydrofuran: Furfuryl alcohol is able to be made into tetrahydrofuran by catalytic hydrogenation. it's an crucial solvent-based products and organic synthesis intermediate, which is able to be applied to create polyurethane, polytetramethylene ether glycol, etc.

3. Furfural: Furfuryl alcohol is able to be dehydrogenated into furfural, is an crucial organic chemical raw material, is able to be applied in the production of drugs, spices, dyes and so on.

4. And Methyl furan: furfuryl alcohol is able to react with methanol to make methyl furan, which is an excellent solvent-based products and organic synthesis intermediate, and is able to be applied in the production of pesticides, medicines, etc. In short, as an crucial organic chemical raw material, furfuryl alcohol has a wide range of upstream and downstream related items, involving many fields, such as synthetic resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic rubber, medicine, pesticide, dye and so on.
