Conversion of Cellulose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural using Inorganic Acidic Catalysts in the Presence of Pressurized Water Steam
Traditionally, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is produced by using a water-organic solvent medium, which inevitably increases production costs and adds subsequent separation processes. To minimize cost and/or toxic organic solvent usage, this study presents an effective pathway for producing HMF from...
