“…The effect of three independent variables (temperature, reaction time and fructose loading) on the response (5-HMF yield) was studied by employing a factorial CCD of RSM, which was a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques for designing experiments, analysing the effects of variables, developing models and optimising the process variables to obtain the optimum response [31][32][33][34]. The experimental data were fitted with a low-order polynomial equation to evaluate the effect of each independent variable to the response, which was later analysed to determine the optimum process conditions.…”

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), which is derived from numerous industrial biomass resources, has attracted attention in recent years due to its potential as a building block. In this paper, a range of heteropolyacid salts had been investigated for the dehydration of fructose to 5-HMF. CePW 12 O 40 demonstrated the best catalytic activity. Effects of fructose concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time on 5-HMF yield were investigated and optimised through a central composite design and response surface methodology. The optimal 5-HMF yield was 99.40% under the optimized reaction conditions of 5.48 mg/mL fructose loading, 158˝C temperature and 164 min reaction time. A kinetic analysis of the fructose conversion was also performed, and the activation energy and pre-exponential factor were obtained.
