The Synthesis of Levulinic Acid Synthesis from Glucose Using ZSM-5 Zeolite Catalyst

Article Preview

Abstract:

Levulinic acid (LA)is a highly versatile platform chemical that can be converted into a broad variety of value-added fuels and chemicals. LA can be produced from the botanic biomass by hydrolyzing. The aim of the present study is to investigate the conversion of glucose to LA by ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst for LA production and optimized to obtain the maximum yield of LA. The main experimental parameters are the amount of ZSM-5 zeolite added, reaction temperature, reaction time and concentration of glucose. The results showed that the optimization of the conversion of glucose to LA by ZSM-5 zeolite. An optimized LA yield was obtained at 190 °C for 2.5 h with 3 g ZSM-5 zeolite catalys and the highest LA yield was 69. 32%.
