Abstract
A flow reactor was used to study the kinetics of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural synthesis from fructose and sucrose at 240 oC in water solutions containing acetic and phosphoric acid as catalysts. The maximum yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was found to be practically independent of the chosen catalyst and carbohydrate. It attained 40 mol. % at 240
