Introduction to the furan series product industry

    The bio based materials industry has unique advantages in reducing carbon emissions throughout its entire life cycle. Developing the bio based materials industry is of great significance for reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development. Among bio based materials, furan bio based materials have been particularly popular recently.

    Furan has broad application prospects. It can be used as an important raw material in the organic synthesis industry to manufacture various chemical raw materials and drugs, such as pyrrole, thiophene, tetrahydrofuran, and benzofuran. Represented by 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, compared with other bio based materials, furan bio based materials have higher thermal stability and their special structure and chemical properties, making them widely applicable in fields such as organic synthesis and polymer materials.

    5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is the only platform compound with an aromatic ring in furan bio based materials, which has good chemical reactivity and can prepare thousands of derivatives such as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), cis-25-Bishydroxymethyltetrahydrofuran (THFDM), 2,5-bis (hydroxymethylfuran diacetate (BAMF), and these derivatives can continue to synthesize tens of thousands of terminal products. These terminal products are widely used in fields such as polyester, plastics, surfactants, adhesives, aramid, fibers, etc. Among them, FDCA, as the most promising monomer for the application of furan based biomaterials, is very similar to PET in chemistry with the polymer PEF of ethylene glycol. PET material has advantages such as good mechanical properties, heat resistance, chemical resistance, electrical insulation, ease of processing, barrier properties, and recyclability. Therefore, PET material has been widely used in various fields, bringing convenience to people's lives.

    Due to its unique chemical molecular structure, furan based biomaterials have shown enormous potential for applications in packaging, bio based fibers, pharmaceuticals, aramid, and other fields. However, the industrialization of furan based biomaterials still faces many challenges, such as high production costs, high technical difficulties, and incomplete industrial chains.
