Abstract

The yield of levulinic acid from cellulose is very low because of a strong network of intera- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Ball milling cause significant decrease in the cellulose crystalinity and thus increase the production of levulinic acid (LA) by using Aluminum Chloride (AlCl3) as a catalyst. By means of AlCl3 depolymerization, cellulose can produce 5- Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and subsequently LA. The effect of reaction temperature and time were investigated. The maximum yield of LA (36.5 mol ) was achieved using 180 ͦC and 240 min. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
