Title: Method and system embodiments for making furfural from hemicellulose source materials

Abstract

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method for producing furfural from a hemicellulose source material. Also disclosed are embodiments of a system for carrying out the method. In particular embodiments, the method can be carried out without adding an extraneous mineral acid to facilitate pentose production from the hemicellulose source material and thus byproducts produced by the method can be used as animal feed.
