In this study, organic acid could be used as co-catalyst for assisting solid acid SO/SnO-argil to convert hemicellulose-derived D-xylose into furfural. The relationship between pKa of organic acid and turnover frequency (TOF) of co-catalysis with organic acid plus SO/SnO-argil was explored on the conversion of D-xylose to furfural. Oxalic acid (pKa = 1.
