Towards greener furfural: evaluating the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of heterogeneous catalysis in biomass conversion

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: An improved furfural process using Amberlyst 70 eliminates H 2 SO 4 and acid residues, replaces steam with a nitrogen stream, and offers a scalable, lower-impact alternative to current practices while preserving economic viability.
