Production of levulinic acid from oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber using novel tin oxide catalysts

Levulinic acid (LA; 4-oxopentanoic acid, C5H8O3) is a useful platform chemical for making diverse other commercial products. This work developed a novel catalytic system for efficient production of LA from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), a widely available lignocellulosic waste. First, the EFB was...
