This work aimed to produce 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) from glucose in a biphasic continuousflow tubular reactor with various heterogeneous solid acid catalysts or combined solid acid-base catalysts. Among the catalysts tested, niobium phosphate (NbP) was found to be the most active catalyst for glucose dehydration with a maximum 5-HMF yield of 45% at 150 °C. The higher activity of NbP was attributed to its higher total number of acid sites and BET surface area, as well as the presence of both Lewis acid and Brønsted acid sites. The effects of different operating conditions such as aqueous to organic (A/O) phase ratio, reaction temperature and feeding flow rate on the activity of some selected catalysts were studied. Reducing A/O ratio by increasing the extracting organic phase flow rate and increasing the reaction temperature (up to 150 °C) were found to positively affect 5-HMF production from glucose in the presence of NbP. Kinetics study demonstrated that the overall reaction of glucose dehydration to 5-HMF over the NbP catalyst is a first-order reaction with the reaction rate constants (k) determined as 0.06, 0.21 and 0.6 min-1 at 110, 130 and 150 °C, respectively, and the apparent activation energy (Ea) calculated to be 77 kJ/mol.
