Beschreibung
Furfural is a colourless to amber-like oily liquid with an almond-like odour. On exposure
to light and air, it turns reddish brown. Furfural is used in making chemicals,
as a solvent in petroleum refining, a fungicide, and a weed killer. It is incompatible with strong acids, oxidisers, and strong alkalis. It undergoes polymerisation on contact
with strong acids or strong alkalis. Furfural is produced commercially by the acid
hydrolysis of pentosan polysaccharides from non-food residues of food crops and wood
wastes. It is used widely as a solvent in petroleum refining, in the production of phenolic
resins, and in a variety of other applications. Human exposure to furfural occurs during
its production and use, as a result of its natural occurrence in many foods and from the
combustion of coal and wood.
Chemische Eigenschaften
Furfural is a colorless to yellow aromatic het erocyclic aldehyde with an almond-like odor. Turns amber
on exposure to light and air.
Physikalische Eigenschaften
Colorless to yellow liquid with an almond-like odor. Turns reddish brown on exposure to light and
air. Odor and taste thresholds are 0.4 and 4 ppm, respectively (quoted, Keith and Walters, 1992).
Shaw et al. (1970) reported a taste threshold in water of 80 ppm.
Occurrence
Reported found in several essential oils from plants of the Pinaceae family, in the essential oil from Cajenne linaloe, in the oil from leaves of Trifolium pratense and Trifolium incarnatum, in the distillation waters of several essential oils, such as ambrettee and angelica seeds, in Ceylon cinnamon essential oil, in petitgrain oil, ylang-ylang, lavender, lemongrass, calamus, eucalyptus, neroli, sandalwood, tobacco leaves and others Also reported found in many foods including apple, apricot, citrus peel oils and juices, berries, guava, grapes, pineapple, asparagus, kohlrabi, celery, onion, leek, potato, tomato, cinnamon, mustard, bread, cheeses, meats, fsh, cognac, rum, whiskies, cider, grape wine, cocoa, coffee, tea, barley, peanuts, popcorn, pecans, oats, honey, soybeans, passion fruit, plums, mushroom, mango, tamarind, fruit brandies, whiskey malt, white bread, rum, bourbon, cardamom, coriander seed, calamus, corn oil, malt, wort and other sources
Verwenden
In the manufacture of furfural-phenol plastics such as Durite; in solvent refining of petroleum oils; in the preparation of pyromucic acid. As a solvent for nitrated cotton, cellulose acetate, and gums; in the manufacture of varnishes; for accelerating vulcanization; as insecticide, fungicide, germicide; as reagent in analytical chemistry. In the synthesis of furan derivatives.
Definition
furfural: A colourless liquid,C
5H
4O
2, b.p. 162°C, which darkenson standing in air. It is the aldehydederivative of furan and occurs invarious essential oils and in fuseloil. It is used as a solvent for extractingmineral oils and natural resinsand itself forms resins with somearomatic compounds.
synthetische
Industrially prepared from pentosans that are contained in cereal straws and brans; these materials are previously digested with diluted H2SO4, and the formed furfural steam is distilled.
Vorbereitung Methode
Furfural is obtained commercially by treating pentosan-rich agricultural residues (corncobs, oat hulls, cottonseed hulls, bagasse, rice hulls) with a dilute acid and removing the furfural by steam distillation. Major industrial uses of furfuraldehyde include: (1) the production of furans and tetrahydrofurans where the compound is an intermediate; (2) the solvent refining of petroleum and rosin products; (3) the solvent binding of bonded phenolic products; and (4) the extractive distillation of butadiene from other C4 hydrocarbons.
When pentoses, e.g., arabinose, xylose, are heated with dilute HCl, furfuraldehyde is formed, recognizable by deep red coloration with phloroglucinol, or by the formation, with phenylhydrazine, of furfuraldehyde phenylhydrazone C4H3O·CH : NNHC6H5, solid, mp 97 °C.
Reaktionen
Aside from a darkening in color, furfural is relatively stable thermally and does not exhibit changes in physical properties after prolonged heating up to 230°C. The reactions of furfural are typical of those of the aromatic aldehydes, although some complex side reactions occur because of the reactive ring. Furfural yields acetals, condenses with active methylene compounds, reacts with Grignard reagents, and provides a bisulfite complex. Upon reduction, furfural yields furfural alcohol; upon oxidation, it yields furoic acid. It can be decarbonylated to furan.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Colorless or reddish-brown mobile liquids with a penetrating odor. Flash points 140°F. Denser than water and soluble in water. Vapors heavier than air. May be toxic by ingestion, skin absorption or inhalation.
Air & Water Reaktionen
Flammable. Furfural is sensitive to light and air. Soluble in water, with mixing.
Reaktivit?t anzeigen
Furfural reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate. Furfural also can react with strong oxidizers. An exothermic resinification of almost explosive violence can occur upon contact with strong mineral acids or alkalis. Furfural forms condensation products with many types of compounds, including phenol, amines and urea. .
Hazard
Absorbed by skin; irritant to eyes, skin,
and mucous membranes. Toxic by skin absorption;
questionable carcinogen.
Health Hazard
Vapor may irritate eyes and respiratory system. Liquid irritates skin and may cause dermatitis.
Brandgefahr
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors are generated when heated
Industrielle Verwendung
Also known as furfuraldehyde, furol, and pyromuclealdehyde,furfural is a yellowish liquidwith an aromatic odor, soluble in water and inalcohol, but not in petroleum hydrocarbons. Onexposure, it darkens and gradually decomposes.Furfural occurs in different forms in variousplant life and is obtained from complex carbohydratesknown as pentosans, which occur insuch agricultural wastes as cornstalks, corncobs,straw, oat husks, peanut shells, bagasse,and rice. Furfural is used for making syntheticplastics, as a plasticizer in other synthetic resins,as a preservative in weed killers, and as aselective solvent especially for removing aromaticand sulfur compounds from lubricatingoils. It is also used for the making of butadiene,adiponitrile, and other chemicals.
Various derivatives of furfural are not used,and these, known collectively as furans, are nowmade synthetically from formaldehyde andacetylene, which react to form butyl nedole.
Sicherheitsprofil
Confirmed carcinogen.
Poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal,
subcutaneous, intravenous, and
intramuscular routes. Moderately toxic by
inhalation and sktn contact. Human
mutation data reported. A skin and eye
irritant. Mutation data reported. The liquid is
dangerous to the eyes. The vapor is irritating
to mucous membranes and is a central
nervous system poison. However, its low
volatility reduces its toxicity effect. Ingestion
of furfural has produced cirrhosis of the
liver in rats. In industry there is a tendency
to minimize the danger of acute effects
resulting from exposure to it. This is
particularly true because of its low volathty. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat or
flame; can react with oxidizing materials.
Moderate explosion hazard when exposed
to heat or flame or by chemical reaction. An
exothermic polymerization of almost
explosive violence can occur upon contact
with strong mineral acids or alkalies. Keep
away from heat and open flames. Mixture
with sodium hydrogen carbonate ignites
spontaneously. To fight fire, use alcohol
foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes.
m?gliche Exposition
Furfural is used for lube oil refining
and butadiene extraction; as a solvent for wood resin,
nitrated cotton, cellulose acetate, and gums; in the produc tion of phenolic plastics, thermosetting resins, refined
petroleum oils, dyes, and varnishes; in the manufacture of
pyromucic acid, vulcanized rubber, insecticides, fungicides,
herbicides, germicides, furan derivatives, polymers, and
other organic chemicals.
Carcinogenicity
The IARC evaluated furfural
and determined that there was inadequate evidence in
humans for the carcinogenicity of furfural. There is limited
evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of
furfural.
Environmental Fate
Biological. Under nitrate-reducing and methanogenic conditions, furfural biodegraded to
methane and carbon dioxide (Knight et al., 1990). In activated sludge inoculum, following a 20-d
adaptation period, 96.3% COD removal was achieved. The average rate of biodegradation was
37.0 mg COD/g?h (Pitter, 1976).
Photolytic. Atkinson (1985) reported an estimated photooxidation half-life of 10.5 h for the
reaction of furfural with OH radicals in the atmosphere.
Chemical/Physical. Slowly resinifies at room temperature (Windholz et al., 1983). May
polymerize on contact with strong acids or strong alkalies (NIOSH, 1997).
