Conversion of Glucose into HMF Catalyzed by CPL-LiCl Investigated using Dual-Wavelength UV Spectrophotometry

The process of dehydration of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), using caprolactam-lithium chloride (CPL/LiCl) as a solvent, was investigated. Dual-wavelength ultraviolet spectrophotometry provides a new approach for the determination of glucose conversion rate and yield of HMF. Experiments w...
