Abstract

Cr-Cu/ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts were prepared by ion exchanged method and were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDS. The catalysts were applied to catalyze the transformation of corn-cob derived glucose into 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) under suitable reaction conditions. The effect of reaction conditions such as: catalyst dosage, temperature and reaction time on the yield of HMF product was investigated. The highest HMF yield of 32.6% was obtained when transformation carried out at suitable reaction conditions.
