Synthesis
Furfuryl alcohol is manufactured industrially by hydrogenation of furfural, which is itself typically produced from waste bio-mass such as corncobs or sugar cane bagasse. As such furfuryl alcohol may be considered a green chemical.[5] One-pot systems have been investigated to produce furfuryl alcohol directly from xylose using solid acid catalysts.[6]

Reactions
It undergoes many reactions including Diels-Alder additions to electrophilic alkenes and alkynes. Hydroxymethylation gives 1,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan. Hydrolysis gives levulinic acid. Upon treatment with acids, heat and/or catalysts, furfuryl alcohol can be made to polymerize into a resin, poly(furfuryl alcohol). Hydrogenation of furfuryl alcohol can proceed to give hydroxymethyl derivative of tetrahydrofuran and 1,5-pentanediol. The etherification reaction of furfuryl alcohol with alkyl or aryl halide (e.g. benzyl chloride) in the liquid-liquid-liquid triphase system with the help of a phase transfer catalyst also reported.[7]

Applications
The primary use of furfuryl alcohol is as a monomer for the synthesis of furan resins.[4][8] These polymers are used in thermoset polymer matrix composites, cements, adhesives, coatings and casting/foundry resins. Polymerization involves an acid-catalyzed polycondensation, usually giving a black cross-linked product.[9] A highly simplified representation is shown below.

Craft uses
Furfuryl alcohol has been used in rocketry as a fuel which ignites hypergolically (immediately and energetically in contact) with white fuming nitric acid or red fuming nitric acid oxidizer.[10] The use of hypergolics avoids the need for an igniter. In late 2012, Spectra, a concept liquid rocket engine using white fuming nitric acid as the oxidizer to furfuryl alcohol fuel was static tested by Copenhagen Suborbitals.[11][12]

Because of its low molecular weight, furfuryl alcohol can impregnate the cells of wood, where it can be polymerized and bonded with the wood by heat, radiation, and/or catalysts or additional reactants. The treated wood has improved moisture-dimensional stability, hardness, and decay and insect resistance; catalysts can include zinc chloride, citric, and formic acid, as well as borates.[13][14]

Safety
The median lethal dose for furfuryl alcohol ranges from 160 to 400 mg/kg (mouse or rabbit, oral).

Furfural alcohol resin.
Furfuryl alcohol resin is produced by self polycondensation of furfuryl alcohol monomer which reacts with the active a-hydrogen of another furfuryl alcohol molecule in the presence of acid catalyst to from the polycondensation resin. Reaction formula is shown in follow.

Furfuryl alcohol-based resins are the most important industrial furan resins in terms of usage and volume.[8] The final cross-linked products exhibit outstanding properties and characteristics.

Furfural replaces formaldehyde in the conventional production of phenolic resins. It reacts easily with phenol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst to form a novolac phenol-furfural resin. (Novolac phenolic resin requires an acid catalyst.)

Furfuryl alcohol readily resinifies or homopolymerizes in the presence of an acid catalyst [such as mineral acids, organic acids, Lewis acids (boron halides, e.g., BF3), and acyl halides] to produce liquid linear chains (oligomers). These chains consist primarily of dimers and trimers that have methylene linkages between the furan rings.

The process essentially is a methylolation involving the condensation of the methylol group of one furfuryl alcohol molecule with another molecule at the fifth position (Figure 3-4). The furfuryl alcohol resinification process is highly exothermic; the necessary temperature control is accomplished by cooling via either reflux or an external cooling fluid. The process is carried to a predetermined viscosity end point, and the reaction is stopped by adjusting the pH to between 5 and 8. The resulting liquid resin has a shelf life of more than 6 months. Furfuryl alcohol also undergoes copolymerization with aldehydes such as formaldehyde and furfural, and with phenols and urea in the presence of an aldehyde.

Since the introduction of furan NO-BAKE foundry binders, furfuryl alcohol has grown to the largest volume derivative of furfural.
In the seventies Quaker's chemical division decided to build an additional furfuryl alcohol production facilityin Geel, nearby Antwerp (Belgium) to serve the expanding demand throughout the world. In 1998, this Belgian facility became an independent entity - nominated TransFurans Chemicals.

The selective Cu-catalyzed hydrogenation of furfural is the sole industrial route for furfuryl alcohol production. This process
can be performed in gas or liquid phase. TransFurans Chemicals operates world's most effective and biggest furfural hydrogenation plant. The incoming furfural is produced at the world's largest furfural facility, Central Romana Corporation.

The company is close to the Antwerp Seaport for export to the Asian and American continent; the central location of Belgium favors TransFurans Chemicals to supply the European customers. International Furan Chemicals has the exclusive use
and distribution rights of TFC's furfuryl alcohol output of some 40,000 tons.

Today the wide spread use of furfuryl alcohol in foundry resins is the principal outlet of this renewable chemical. Nevertheless, the low viscosity and high reactivity of furfuryl alcohol and the outstanding chemical, mechanical and thermal properties of its polymers have led to successful applications of furfuryl alcohol in other fields than the foundry industry. By controlled polymerisation polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA) can be produced. PFA is an engineering thermoset resin with applications in fibre reinforced plastics, adhesives, anti-corrosive and carbon products.

Furfuryl alcohol is also the chemical substrate in the production of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, levulinic acid, 3,4 dihydro 2H pyran, pentane diols and precursor molecules for pharmaceutical intermediates.

Furfuryl alcohol is not an oil derived chemical. The basic raw materials for its manufacture are waste vegetable materials
such as sugar cane bagasse, oat hulls, corn cobs and rice hulls. This reactive alcohol plays a vital role in the production
of foundry sand binders. For over 40 years it has been extensively used to produce cores and molds for metal casting.
No wonder that the major part of furfuryl alcohol, manufactured at TransFurans Chemicals is purchased by foundry binder suppliers. Of course the remarkable properties of this chemical, such as low viscosity, high reactivity and excellent solvent characteristics have led to success in other fields.

Foundry industry

Furfuryl alcohol is the major ingredient in FURAN foundry binders [1]. The flexibility of furfuryl alcohol as a binder base is enormous. Today furfuryl alcohol is used in binders for HOT-BOX, WARM BOX and gas hardened processes as well as
in the traditional FURAN-NO-BAKE system.
Furan NO-BAKE (FNB) was introduced in 1958. It is suitable for making all types of metal castings in all sizes, and particularly used for the production of molds and larger cores. This acid catalyzed cold setting binder consist of a hardening catalysts such as sulfuric acids, sulfonic acids and phosphoric acids and of a reactive furan-type resin.
FNB is known for its superior shakeout characteristics and the sand can be reused by thermal and/or mechanical reclamation [2].
Furan HOT BOX process uses furan resins in combination with a latent acid catalysts, e.g. ammonium salts. The WARM BOX process is operated at lower temperatures and was developed by the Quaker Oats Company for the
rapid production of cores in existing hot box equipment. This type of furan binder contains more furfuryl alcohol than
in hot box furan binders. A latent copper salt catalyst is used to cure the binder very rapidly upon heating
The Furan SO2 process is a gas cured binder system for the rapid production of small moulds and cores.
Curing of the furanic resin occurs right away, when the sand mix is exposed to SO2 gas at room temperature.

Furfuryl Alcohol and Furan Resins
Chemical Economics Handbook
Published March 2020

The majority of furfuryl alcohol is used in the production of furan resins for foundry sand binders in the metal casting industry. Currently, furfuryl alcohol is used mainly in binders for the traditional furan no-bake system and in smaller quantities in furan hot-box, warm-box, and gas-hardened processes. In its main application, the foundry business, furfuryl alcohol competes primarily with phenol, the feedstock for phenolic resins.

The following pie chart shows world consumption of furfuryl alcohol:
The production and use of furfuryl alcohol is centered in China. Low-cost production in China forced most of the industry in North America, Western Europe, and Japan to shutter operations in the 1990s. China has also captured most of the global foundry business. Little change is expected in the near future. Any growth in the global industry will depend on activity in China.

China continues to be the world’s largest producer and consumer of furfuryl alcohol, accounting for more than 85% of worldwide capacity, 80% of production, and about 60% of global consumption in 2019. Since 2000, a number of foundries have relocated to China, which has led to increased domestic demand for furan resins, especially from the automotive, windmill, and machinery industries. However, it is expected that Chinese demand for furan resins in the heavy casting industry will grow at a more moderate rate in the future.

It is estimated that about 90% of worldwide demand for furfuryl alcohol in 2019 was used for the production of furan resins. The remaining applications include tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA), and use in solvents, flavor and fragrance chemicals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. THFA is used mainly as a specialty solvent or chemical intermediate, with its primary end markets being agricultural chemicals, coatings, and cleaning solutions.
