Catalytic Formation of Lactic and Levulinic Acids from Biomass Derived Monosaccarides through Sn-Beta Formed by Impregnation

In the present study, the use of Sn-Beta zeolite to facilitate the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass-derived glucose and xylose into lactic and levulinic acid was explored. The reactions were carried out in a batch reactor using water as the solvent. Water is the preferred solvent over methanol...
