This work presents an experimental holistic approach for the design of a continuous catalytic conversion process of carbohydrates derived from waste biomass to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) using a tin-doped active carbon catalyst. In this report, apple biomass waste is used as a model component as …
