Catalytic Conversion of Cellulose to Levulinic Acid by Metal Chlorides

Catalytic Conversion of Cellulose to Levulinic Acid by Metal Chlorides

The catalytic performance of various metal chlorides in the conversion of cellulose to levulinic acid in liquid water at high temperatures was investigated. The effects of reaction parameters on the yield of levulinic acid were also explored. The results showed that alkali and alkaline earth metal c...
