Synthesis of Furfural from Corn Cobs by Using Membrane Technology

Abstract

Today all major companies used furfural as a selective solvent in refining of lubricating oil. Furfural is produced from agricultural waste biomass that contain pentosans, which are aldose sugars, composed of small rings formed from short fivemember chains, that constitute a class of complex carbohydrates, present in cellulose of many woody plants such as corn cobs, sugar cane bagasse, rice and oat hulls etc. The pervaporation performance of the membranes studied with aqueous furfural solution as feed. The effects of feed composition and temperature on the membrane performance also studied. (Keywords- Corn cobs, Hydrolysis, PV, Furfural).
