Abstract
Limitations of bioethanol as a direct substitute for gasoline have instigated many researchers to develop a process for catalytic chemical conversion in the production of new biofuel from biomass. One of these biofuels is 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), can be produced from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). HMF has been identified as the "key compound for biorefining of the chemical and biofuels" d…
