Levulinic acid is considered one of the most important platform chemicals. It is currently produced mainly from lignocellulosic biomasses. However, there are also other abundant biomass materials, which could be used as raw materials for levulinic acid production. In this work, levulinic acid was produced from two novel biomasses in the presence of Brønsted (H2SO4) and Lewis acid (CrCl3·6H2O or AlCl3·6H2O) catalysts. The studied materials were carbohydrate-rich potato peel waste and sporocarps of the fungus Cortinarius armillatus. Reaction conditions, i.e., time, temperature, H2SO4, and Lewis acid concentrations, were studied by utilizing full 24-factorial experimental designs. Microwave irradiation was used as the heating method. Based on the results, the reaction temperature and the H2SO4 concentration had the greatest impact on the yield of levulinic acid. The highest yield obtained in this study from potato peel waste was 49% with 180 °C for reaction temperature, 15 min for reaction time, and 0.5 and 0.0075 M for the concentrations of H2SO4 and CrCl3, respectively. When Cortinarius armillatus was used as the raw material, the highest yield was 62% with 180 °C for reaction temperature, 40 min for reaction time, and 0.5 and 0.0075 M for the concentrations of H2SO4 and CrCl3, respectively.

Simultaneous production of furfural and levulinic acid from pine sawdust via acid-catalysed mechanical depolymerization and microwave irradiation
Lappalainen, Katja; Dong, Yue (Pergamon Press, 2019)In this work pine sawdust was converted into levulinic acid (LA) and furfural. Sawdust was first pre-treated with sulfuric acid-catalysed mechanical depolymerization. The conversion reactions were then performed with ... -
Brønsted and Lewis acid catalyzed conversion of pulp industry waste biomass to levulinic acid
Lappalainen, Katja; Kuorikoski, Eveliina; Vanvyve, Elise; Dong, Yue; Kärkkäinen, Johanna; Niemelä, Matti; Lassi, Ulla (Department of Forest Biomaterials, North Carolina State University, 2019)Enormous amounts of fiber sludge are generated annually by the pulp industry as a by-product. As a cellulose-rich material, its current usage, mainly as fuel, is inefficient from a material efficiency point of view. This ... -
Microwave-assisted Esterification of Tall Oil Fatty Acids with Methanol Using Lignin-based Solid Catalyst
Kumar, Hemanathan; Alén, Raimo (American Chemical Society, 2016)During alkaline pulping significant amounts of lignin, carbohydrates (mostly hemicelluloses), and extractives (tall oil soap and turpentine) are removed from wood feedstock. In this study, the catalytic esterification of ... -
