Included activities starts

The boundary of production activities starts when various raw and auxiliary materials enter the factory gate.

Included activities ends

The system boundary ends with the production of furfural.

Description

The production activities of this product are based on a weighted average of "Furfural, concentrated acid (CA) hydrolysis, biomass derived" and "Furfural, molten salt hydrate (MSH) hydrolysis, biomass derived"; if the specific production process of furfural cannot be clearly defined, this dataset can be used. For detailed technical information, system boundaries, and other descriptions, please refer to various furfural production datasets. Infrastructure such as manufacturing of production equipment and construction of facilities are not included within the dataset boundaries.

Activity Description

The production activities of this product are weighted averages of "furfural, concentrated acid (CA) hydrolysis, biomass source" and "furfural, molten salt hydrate (MSH) hydrolysis, biomass source".

Process Description

Furfural is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H4O2, a colorless transparent oily liquid with a special odor similar to benzaldehyde. It is mainly used as an industrial solvent and can also be used to produce furfuryl alcohol, furoic acid, tetrahydrofuran, ץ-valerolactone, pyrrole, tetrahydropyrrole, etc.
