Less severe reaction conditions to produce levulinic acid with reduced humins formation at the expense of lower biomass conversion: Is it economically feasible?

Esters of levulinic acid constitute a promising class of renewable fuel additives that improve the cold properties of diesel and reduce soot emissions. However, the production of levulinic acid via thermolysis of biomass has low selectivity, a problem that compromises both yield and reactor operabil...
