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 work studied the utilization of fiber sludge from a Finnish and a Swedish pulp mill as a potential feedstock to produce levulinic acid, a valuable platform chemical. The conversion experiments of fiber sludge to levulinic acid were performed in a microwave reactor with a mixture of H2SO4 and Lewis acid as the catalyst. The reaction conditions, which included reaction time and temperature as well as the H2SO4 and Lewis acid concentrations, were studied in detail. The highest levulinic acid yield, 56%, was obtained with Swedish fiber sludge after 60 min at 180 °C with the H2SO4 concentration of 0.3 mol/L and a CrCl3 concentration of 7.5 mmol/L which indicated that the fiber sludge had the potential to be used as feedstock for levulinic acid production.

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 ... -
Microwave-assisted conversion of novel biomass materials into levulinic acid
Lappalainen, Katja; Vogeler, Nils; Kärkkäinen, Johanna; Dong, Yue; Niemelä, Matti; Rusanen, Annu; Ruotsalainen, Anna Liisa; Wäli, Piippa; Markkola, Annamari; Lassi, Ulla (Springer, 2018)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 ... -
Carbons from second generation biomass as sustainable supports for catalytic systems
Prati, Laura; Bergna, Davide; Villa, Alberto; Spontoni, Paolo; Bianchi, Claudia L.; Hu, Tao; Romar, Henrik; Lassi, Ulla (Elsevier B.V., 2018)In this study activated carbons were produced from the wood of three different wood species (pine, birch, spruce). The resulting activated carbons were characterized in bulk for ash content, carbon content (elemental ... -

Synthesis of N‐Fused Indolines via Copper (II)‐Catalyzed Dearomatizing Cyclization of Indoles
Zhang, Jingyu; Xia, Wei; Huda, Saskia; Ward, Jas S.; Rissanen, Kari; Albrecht, Markus (Wiley, 2021)Herein, a copper(II)-catalyzed dearomative cyclization amination of N-(2-aminobenzoyl) indoles is presented. Under mild reaction conditions, the cyclization proceeds to afford tetracyclic indolines by forming a new C−N ...
