Center for Catalytic Science and Technology (CCST): The renewable production of chemicals and fuels from biomass is inherently difficult due to competing side reactions. CCST has demonstrated the selective production of phthalic anhydride, a chemical used for the manufacture of plasticizers, unsaturated polyesters, and resins in the millions of tonnes per year, from biomass ..
DalinYebo‘s insight:
Furfural is the feedstock to make furan as well as maleic anhydrid. See https://ift.co.za/708-furfural-green-chemical-building-block.
