Use 1: Furfural CAS 98-01-1 used as a raw material for organic synthesis, and also used in synthetic resins, varnishes, pesticides, medicines, rubber and coatings, etc.
Use 2: Furfural mainly used as industrial solvent, used to prepare furfuryl alcohol, furoic acid, tetrahydrofuran, γ-valerolactone, pyrrole, tetrahydropyrrole, etc.
Use 3: as analytical reagent
Use 4: Used for tanning of noodle leather.
Use 5: GB 2760-96 stipulates that it is allowed to use food spices; extraction solvent. Mainly used to prepare various thermal processing flavors, such as bread, butterscotch, coffee and other flavors.
Use 6: Furfural is the raw material for the preparation of many drugs and industrial products. Furan can be reduced by electrolysis to produce succinaldehyde, which is the raw material for the production of atropine. Some derivatives of furfural have strong bactericidal ability and a broad spectrum of bacteriostasis.
Use 7: To verify cobalt and determine sulfate. Reagents for the determination of aromatic amines, acetone, alkaloids, vegetable oils and cholesterol. Determine pentose and polypentose as standard. Synthetic resin, refined organic matter, nitrocellulose solvent, dichloroethane extractant.
