Overview of 4-oxopentanoic (levulinic) acid production methods – an intermediate in the biorefinery process
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2016, Vol 70, Issue 4
Abstract
4-oxopentanoic (levulinic) acid is an intermediate from biomass processing and may be used as a substrate for synthesis of many interesting compounds, including Diesel oil biocomponents. There is one industrial method of LA production – Biofine process. A lot of studies, which the aim was to find new materials for LA production and to change homogeneous catalysis for heterogeneous one, was done.
