The article reviews different solvent systems for making furfural from plant materials. Furfural is a useful chemical that can be made from these materials and used in many industries. Traditionally, furfural is made using water and sulfuric acid, but new solvent systems like organic solvents and ionic liquids are being explored to improve the process. These new systems have their own advantages and limitations. Overall, using plant materials to make furfural could be a sustainable alternative to using petroleum-based products.
