Impact of Thermal Treatment of Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> on Its Performance in Glucose Dehydration to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Water

Impact of Thermal Treatment of Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> on Its Performance in Glucose Dehydration to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Water

The cascade dehydration of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was carried out in water over a series of Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> catalysts, which were derived from the thermal treatment of niobic acid at 300 and 550 °C, under air or inert atmosphere. Amorphous niobic...
