In a 500 mL round-bottomed flask, 15 g of dried powdered bagasse, 150 mL of 2% sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), and 15 g of NaCl were combined using a sustainable extraction technique. The mixture was agitated to maintain consistency before being attached to a tube and a water condenser. The reaction mixture was heated in an oil bath, with the flame intensity regulated to maintain a constant distillation rate. The distillation process was continued until the furfural production reached a plateau. A 1:1 (v/v) mixture of ethyl acetate was then added to the distillate. The ethyl acetate and furfural layers were separated after shaking the mixture and allowed to settle. To obtain pure furfural, a brownish-yellow liquid, the furfural layer was dried using anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and distilled at 110°C. This procedure was designed to use as little energy and chemicals as possible.
