Catalytic Dehydration of Fructose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Aqueous Medium over Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>-Based Catalysts

Catalytic Dehydration of Fructose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Aqueous Medium over Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>-Based Catalysts

The catalytic dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in water was performed in the presence of pristine Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and composites containing Nb and Ti, Ce or Zr oxides. In all experiments, fructose was converted to HMF using water as the sol...
