“…Furfuryl alcohol (FAL, C 5 H 6 O 2 ), an important organic chemical raw material, is mainly used to produce furan resins with various properties, fruit acids, plasticizers, solvents, and rocket fuels. − In addition, it has a wide range of applications in industrial sectors such as dyes, synthetic fibers, rubber, pesticides, and casting. , FAL aqueous solutions are usually present during the preparation and application of FAL. FAL and water would form an azeotrope (the mass ratio is 80/20), which is difficult to separate by conventional distillation methods .…”
