Four Catalyst Block Diagram From Hemicellulose to Refinery Feedstock. Click image for more info.

Block flow diagram for the production of petroleum refinery feedstocks from furfural in an integrated biorefinery. Furfural production from hemicellulose extract through dehydration is not shown. Key: FAF – furfural–acetone (2:1) dimer (i.e. the aldol condensation product of furfural and acetone), Oli – oligomeric adducts formed by Michael addition reactions, H-FAF – hydrogenated furfural–acetone (2:1) dimer, Cyc – cyclic compounds formed by hydrogenation and Diels–Alder reactions.
