dc.description.abstract	The conversion of biomass to chemicals on an industrial scale at a competitive cost requires the development of biorefineries analogous to petrochemical refineries. Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising platform chemical. Our objective of this experiment is the conversion of rice straw to HMF. There were three main stages of the process, pretreatment of rice straw, hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose, and dehydration of glucose to HMF. Optimum operating conditions for the process were calculated by conversion of raw material and yield of the products. The research aims to efficiently and effectively convert rice straw to HMF.	en_US
