Furfuryl alcohol is made from furfural by hydrogenation reduction of furfural. In industry, there are two kinds of liquid and gas phase hydrogenation. Liquid phase hydrogenation method is divided into high pressure method and medium pressure method. The high pressure method is operated above 9.8.

Furfuryl alcohol is an organic compound, molecular formula C5H6O2, molecular weight of 98.100, transparent yellow liquid. It is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of furfural resin, furfuran resin, furfuryl alcohol - urinary aldehyde resin, phenolic resin and

Furfural, also known as 2-furfuraldehyde, is the same substance as glycoaldehydes. Its scientific name is α-furaldehyde, which is a derivative of hydrogen atom substituted by aldehyde group on furan 2 site. It is originally made from rice bran coheated with dilute acid, so it is called furfural.
