5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), an organic platform chemical, used as a precursor of various industrial chemicals, was synthesized from waste coffee grounds (WCG), glucose, and fructose, using Al(NO3)3 and H2SO4 as catalysts, in a highly aqueous binary solvent system consisting of water and dimethyl...
