Kinetics and thermodynamic analysis of levulinic acid esterification using lignin-furfural carbon cryogel catalyst
The synthesis of ethyl levulinate, a fuel additive, by catalytic esterification of levulinic acid with ethanol over carbon cryogel has been investigated. The carbon cryogel catalyst, coupled with a large surface area and strong acidity, has been identified as an effective carbon-based catalyst for o...
