  2. 16. Formic and Levulinic Acid from Cellulose via Heterogeneous Catalysis

    Author : Johan Ahlkvist; Jyri-Pekka Mikkola; Riitta Keiski; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Levulinic acid; formic acid; Amberlyst 70;

    Abstract : The chemical industry of today is under increased pressure to develop novel green materials, bio-fuels as well as sustainable chemicals for the chemical industry. Indeed, the endeavour is to move towards more eco-friendly cost efficient production processes and technologies and chemical transformation of renewables has a central role considering the future sustainable supply of chemicals and energy needed for societies.
