Dehydration of Fructose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural: Effects of Acidity and Porosity of Different Catalysts in the Conversion, Selectivity, and Yield

There is a demand for renewable resources, such as biomass, to produce compounds considered as platform molecules. This study deals with dehydration of fructose for the formation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a feedstock molecule. Different catalysts (aluminosilicates, niobic acid, 12-tungstopho...
