5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Production from Glucose, Fructose, Cellulose, or Cellulose-based Waste Material by Using a Calcium Phosphate Catalyst and Water as a Green Solvent

摘要

abstract_textpWe successfully prepared 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from glucose, fructose, cellulose, natural wood, waste paper, and cotton clothing by using a calcium phosphate catalyst and water as a green solvent. The combination of basic and acidic sites on the surface of the calcium phosphate catalyst accelerated the multistep reaction pathway from the reactants to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. Ball-milling pretreatment of the reactant markedly increased the yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural obtained from cellulose, natural wood, waste paper, and cotton clothing./p/abstract_text
