Oxidative Decarboxylation of Levulinic Acid by Silver(I)/Persulfate

The oxidative decarboxylation of levulinic acid (LA) by silver(I)/persulfate [Ag(I)/S2O82−] has been investigated in this paper. The effects of buffer solution, initial pH value, time and temperature and dosages of Ag(I)/S2O82− on the decarboxylation of LA were examined in batch experiments and a re...
