Catalytic conversion of oil palm fronds to levulinic acid in ionic liquid

Conversion of oil palm fronds (OPF) to levulinic acid (LA) over Fe/HY zeolite catalyst in BMIM[Br] ionic liquid has been investigated in this study. The optimization of OPF conversion reported 24.7% levulinic acid yield at 153 °C, 5.9 h, 0.96 g and 1.1 g of reaction temperature, reaction time, OPF l...
