Abstract
In this work, the possibility of Miscanthus as renewable lignocellulosic biomass was evaluated for production of furfural. Also, to find the reaction conditions of furfural production from Miscanthus straw, the effects of solid-to-liquid ratio, reaction temperature, catalyst amount, and reaction time were investigated. Finally, 5.1 g/L furfural was produced from Miscanthus straw in the condition of solid-to-liquid ratio at 1:10, reaction temperature at $150^{\circ}C$, sulfuric acid at 3%, and reaction time of 60 minutes. This result will provide basic knowledge for converting renewable resources into valuable chemicals substituted for fossil fuels.
