Conversion of Hemicellulose into Furfural Using Solid Acid Catalysts in γ-Valerolactone

Conversion of Hemicellulose into Furfural Using Solid Acid Catalysts in γ-Valerolactone

Hold the water: The hemicellulose fraction of lignocellulose can be converted into furfural in high yields (80 %) using solid acid catalysts (H‐mordenite) in a monophasic system with γ‐valerolactone (GVL) as the solvent. Furfural degradation reactions are decreased significantly when the water conce...

Zusammenfassung:Hold the water: The hemicellulose fraction of lignocellulose can be converted into furfural in high yields (80 %) using solid acid catalysts (H‐mordenite) in a monophasic system with γ‐valerolactone (GVL) as the solvent. Furfural degradation reactions are decreased significantly when the water concentration in GVL is minimized, thus resulting in high furfural yields.
