Abstract

Carbonization (1 h, 400 °C, N2) of mix ball-milled (10 min) waste leaves and humic acid affords weak-acid biochars.

As-prepared weak-acid biochars (–COOH, OH, amino groups) were activated solids with adsorptive and catalytic properties.

Weak-acid biochar catalyst is reusable and promotes fructose dehydration to 5-HMF in yields of 77.5% (140 °C, 60 min).
