LEVULINIC ACID An essential overview of this renewable platform
chemical with growing commercial applications Use of fossil fuels
and their derivatives has been one of the major drivers of climate
change. This ongoing crisis has driven a global search for biofuels
and biomass-derived chemicals which can serve as the basis for
sustainable and renewable industry. One such 'platform molecule' is
levulinic acid, whose derivatives are increasingly replacing
traditional fossil-derived chemicals. The importance of levulinic
acid for renewable industry is therefore only growing. Levulinic
Acid: A Sustainable Platform Chemical for Value-Added Products
provides a book-length introduction to this chemical and its
derivatives, like the levulinates, for which applications include
fuel additives, food and cosmetic preservatives, flavors, solvents,
and more. The book surveys the production routes and necessary
technologies involved in the production of levulinic acid, as well
as its current and potential applications and typical chemical
reactions. It provides a critical introduction to a potentially
rich source of alternative industrial material. Levulinic Acid
readers will also find: Production routes from different biomass
materials Treatment of both organic and inorganic levulinates
Extensive discussion of levulinic acid hydrogenation Other
derivatives formed upon reaction at the keto-functionality
Levulinic Acid is the first book on this subject, ideal for
researchers and industry professionals in green chemistry and
sustainable/renewable production, as well as regulators and
policymakers with a focus on the relevant industries.
