Abstract

Acid functionalized activated carbon was studied as a catalyst in xylose dehydration. It was compared with commonly used solid acid catalysts, H-mordenite and TiO2. The carbon surface was modified with H2SO4 and/or HNO3 treatment, resulting in highly active and selective dehydration catalysts that were stable in aqueous reaction conditions.
