Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci | | French term or phrase: unité d’extraction des aromatiques au solvant, le furfurol | This is from a text presenting the history of a refinery. It has two such units and I'm not sure if the furfurol is the aromatic that is extracted or the solvent used to do so.
Thanks! |
| | | English translation:solvent | Explanation:
Larousse Lexis gives both spellings, furfurOl and furfurAl. Not sure which is prevalent in English, but I think it's "furfurAl".
Furfural is used as a SOLVENT IN PETROCHEMICAL REFINING to extract dienes (which are used to make synthetic rubber) from other hydrocarbons.

Hawley's says furfural is used for "SOLVENT REFINING OF LUBRICATING OILS".
