Technical Principles

The analysis of furfural in biomass is based on the identification and quantification of furfural, a compound that can be derived from the hemicellulose fraction of lignocellulosic materials. Furfural is produced through the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of xylose, which is abundant in hardwoods and agricultural residues. The presence and concentration of furfural in biomass are indicative of the potential for bioconversion processes and the quality of the biomass as a feedstock.

Technical Means

This analysis employs a range of analytical techniques to determine the content and purity of furfural in biomass. These include:

• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Used to separate and quantify furfural and other related compounds in biomass hydrolysates.
• Gas Chromatography (GC): Employed for the analysis of volatile organic compounds, including furfural, in biomass extracts.
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: Utilized to identify the chemical structure and purity of furfural.
• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used in conjunction with GC for the identification and quantification of furfural and its derivatives.
