In this study, hydrothermal treatment of coconut shell (200℃, 30 min), and separation of the reaction products using a filtration and an activated charcoal chromatography method were conducted. Water soluble reaction products were mainly xylose, acetic acid and furfural. Xylose and acetic acid were recovered with high yield by the filtration without water washing process. However, in case of furfural, it was necessary to wash filter cake with water. Furthermore, furfural could be separated by the activated charcoal chromatography.
