The Lowly Corncob and Its $20 Furfural
Agricultural chemists reveal corn cobs yield furfural and several by products. Furfural once sold at $20 a pound can be produced cheaply, and cobs provide many materials including dye intermediates, paints, lacquers, bakelite, and insecticide. Commercial plants will make adhesive, cellulose for dynamite, paper filler, and acetate of lime from corncob derivatives.
