Catalytic Conversion of Xylose to Furfural by <i>p</i>-Toluenesulfonic Acid (<i>p</i>TSA) and Chlorides: Process Optimization and Kinetic Modeling

Furfural is one of the most promising precursor chemicals with an extended range of downstream derivatives. In this work, conversion of xylose to produce furfural was performed by employing <i>p</i>-toluenesulfonic acid (<i>p</i>TSA) as a catalyst in DMSO medium at moderate t...
