Abstract
This study investigates a sulfonic acid-functionalized γ-Fe2O3@TiO2 catalyst for the hydrothermal dehydration of carbohydrates to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). The catalyst was thoroughly characterized using a range of analytical techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), and acidity measurements. Reaction condition optimization using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) showed that the catalyst efficiently converts 0.75 M fructose and glucose into 5-HMF with yields of up to 98 % and 96 %, respectively, at 60 °C. The catalyst's performance is attributed to a balance between surface acidity and mesoporous structure, which governs active site accessibility and selectivity. This study underscores the potential of sulfonated titania-based materials as efficient and reusable catalysts for green biomass valorization, thereby supporting the sustainable production of bio-based platform chemicals.
