In this paper, furfural production from xylose dehydration was studied. High furfural yield (76%) was obtained on SiO₂ Al₂O3 catalyst with acid sites of Lewis and BrØnsted nature and moderate strength using a water-toluene mixture at 433K. Moreover, this catalyst is stable in working condition and it can be reused.
