About this document

High-Yield HMF Production from Biomass by duduaraujo8408 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This article presents a hybrid enzyme- and chemo-catalytic process for the efficient production of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) from glucose in biomass hydrolysates. The method involves isomerizing glucose to fructose using immobilized glucose isomerase, followed by dehydration to HMF in acidic ionic liquids, achieving high yields (>80%) at mild conditions. The process also allows for the recycling of catalysts and solvents, enhancing cost-effectiveness and sustainability in HMF production.
