Key Points

  • The research aims to produce butyl levulinate from lignocellulosic materials through a specific catalytic process.
  • Utilized four types of lignocellulosic feedstocks with varying complexity.
  • Employed homogenous acid-catalyzed butanolysis for conversion.
  • Implemented hierarchical surrogate kinetic modeling to analyze the process.
  • Successfully produced butyl levulinate as a biomass-derived ester.
  • Identified the efficiency of different lignocellulosic sources for biofuel production.

Abstract

This study reports the production of n-butyl levulinate (BL) as an advanced biofuel and biomass-derived ester via homogenous acid-catalysed butanolysis of four lignocellulosic feedstocks of increasing structural complexity: glucose, cellulose,...
