Furfurylation
Furfurylation refers to Furfuryl alcohol, a liquid produced from agricultural wastes such as sugar cane and corn cobs. Furfurylation is accomplished by impregnating material with a mixture of furfuryl alcohol and catalysts, and then heating it to cause polymerization (Schneider 1995; Westin 1996).
