An overview of the biphasic dehydration of sugars to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural: a rational selection of solvents using COSMO-RS and selection guides

Jesús Esteban, Andreas J. Vorholt, Walter Leitner

Abstract

A wide overview of the biphasic production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural from lignocellulosic sugars is presented together with a screening of solvents following a methodology based on COSMO-RS and section guides.
