Abstract In this survey, ultrasonic irradiation was used as a source of energy and a mild method for producing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) from fructose in the presence of SBA-15 grafted with different amount of alumina at room temperature. Effect of different parameters such as the power of ultrasonic irradiation, alumina loading on SBA-15, catalyst amount, reaction time, and solvent was investigated. Catalysts were characterized using different techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, EDX, elemental mapping and ICP analysis. While dehydration reaction at room temperature gave
