Levulinic acid (LA) is one of the most promising biomass-derived platform chemicals owing to its wider convertibility to a large number of commodity chemicals. Numerous LA derivatives have paramount importance in the global economy. In... more
Palm frond could be hydrolyzed to levulinic acid using acid catalyst. In this study, kinetics data and optimum condition of palm frond conversion to levulinic acid was investigated. The conversion was conducted in ampoule as reactor... more
Levulinic acid (LA) can be produced from lignocellulosic materials via hydroxylation followed by an acid-catalyzed conversion of hexoses. Inorganic homogeneous catalysts are mostly used, in particular sulphuric acid, yielding a mixture of... more
Hydrothermal gasification of woody wastes, pine tree and fir tree sawdust, was performed in a batch autoclave at 500 and 600 • C and a pressure range of 20.0-42.5 MPa with or without a 10 wt.% of K 2 CO 3. The products in the gaseous... more
