Details We successfully developed an in situ UV–VIS absorption spectroscopic flow reactor system for investigation of solid-liquid two-phase reactions within the second time scale at high temperatures (solid-state-catalyst- mediated hydrothermal flow reactor system, SSCM-HF). The SSCM-HF consisted of a water reservoir, high- pressure pump, sample injector, high-temperature reactor involving solid-state catalysts, a cooling bath, a pressure regulator, and a temperature controller. We demonstrated the usefulness of SSCM-HF by inspecting 50 -hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) formation from glucose and cellulose. This study demonstrates the application of the SSCM-HF as a new research tool for screening and investigating solid-state catalysts in detail in liquid-phase reactions at high temperatures.
