| Περίληψη: | Diosgenin represents a key precursor in the synthesis of steroidal pharmaceuticals, yet its conventional production relies on strong acid hydrolysis, which generates substantial acidic wastewater and poses serious environmental concerns. To circumvent these issues, a sustainable strategy for precise engineering of acid site in biochar catalysts derived from Dioscorea zingiberensis residues is presented. The carbon supports were prepared by direct calcination of the biomass residues across a controlled temperature range without exogenous additives, allowing tailored specific surface parameters. Subsequent sulfonation introduced sulfonic acid groups as the primary active sites, along with carboxylic acid groups and other weak acid species. A linear correlation was identified between the specific surface area and total acid site density, enabling rational regulation of acidic properties.
