LEVULINIC ACID PRODUCTION FROM WASTE BIOMASS

LEVULINIC ACID PRODUCTION FROM WASTE BIOMASS

The hydrothermal conversion of waste biomass to levulinic acid was investigated in the presence of homogeneous acid catalysts. Different cheap raw materials (poplar sawdust, paper mill sludge, tobacco chops, wheat straw, olive tree pruning) were employed as substrates. The yields of levulinic acid w...
