Here we demonstrate a selective method for glucose-to-HMF conversion using the combined catalysis of bone char and 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate acidic ionic liquid catalysts with a high HMF selectivity (54%) in water. ? 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry.[SDGs]SDG6[SDGs]SDG12Glucose isomerization catalyzed by bone char and the selective production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in aqueous mediajournal article10.1039/c8se00339d2-s2.0-85053873101https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85053873101&doi=10.1039%2fc8se00339d&partnerID=40&md5=97b1079a999bd765a30e53f224b3391a
