Abstract
Carbonaceous material (GC-PTSA-AC) functionalized with both high density of SO3H and COOH groups was prepared by one-step hydrothermal carbonization of glucose with p-toluenesulfonic acid and acrylic acid. This novel carbon could be used directly for the alcoholysis of furfuryl alcohol and n-butanol without any post-modification, and it was found to be more efficient than the monofunctional hydrothermal carbon only decorated with SO3H or COOH groups. The reason was attributed to the larger amount of COOH groups on GC-PTSA-AC, cooperating with the SO3H active sites to facilitate the butanolysis reaction.
