초록
에너지 수요의 증가와 화석연료 고갈에 대비해 재생가능한 자원에 대한 관심이 높다. 목질계 바이오매스는 지속 및 재생 가능하며, 원유로부터 생산되는 화학물질을 대체할 수 있고, 바이오 기반의 화학물질과 바이오연료를 생산하는 원료물질로 인식되고 있다. 푸르푸랄은 푸란을 기반으로 하는 메틸퓨란, 터트라하이드로퓨판, 메틸테트라하이드로퓨란, 에틸테트라하이드로퓨릴 이써, 에틸 레부리네이트, 레불루닉산과 알칸 등 화학물질 및 용매 생산을 위한 천연 전구체이며, 바이오 화학물질과 바이오연료를 위한 재생 가능한 화학 플랫폼으로 잠재력을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 바이오리파이너리 개념, 푸르푸랄의 생산과 응용분야에 대해 고찰을 하였다.
In this new energy economy era, the importance of renewable energy resource needs to be highly addressed, as the demand of energy dramatically increases and fossil fuel is being exhausted. Lignocellulosic biomass is considered as the sustainable and renewable feedstock to produce biochemicals and biofuels that are the alternative for petroleum derived products. Furfural is a natural precursor for the range of furan based chemicals and solvents such as methylfuran, tetrahydrofuran, methyltetrahydrofuran, ethyltetrahydrofuryl ether, ethyl levulinate, levulinic acid, and alkanes. Thus, furfural should be a renewable platform chemical for biochemicals and renewable biofuels. In this paper, the concept of biorefinery, furfural production and its applications are briefly reviewed.
