Abstract
The production of 5-hydroxylmethylfurfural(HMF)from inulin over sulfonated amorphous carbon was studied in an ionic liquid,1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride([Bmim]Cl).The effects of reaction solvent,water content,reaction temperature,reaction time,and catalyst dosage on the yield of HMF were investigated.Experimental results indicated that optimum reaction conditions required a reaction temperature of 100°C,a reaction time of 60 min,an R value of 5(R represents the molar ratio of added water to fructose units in inulin),and a mass ratio of catalyst to inulin of 1:3,affording HMF in yields of up to 50%.
