Production of fuel additives by direct conversion of softwood bark using a cheap metal salt

Levulinates could be used as oxygenated fuel additives or as blending components in biodiesel. In this work, a metallic salt was used for the direct conversion of biomass, ie. (softwood bark), to produce methyl levulinate (ML) and levulinic acid (LA). The experimental data were analyzed through usin...
