Synthesis of ethyl levulinate from levulinic acid over solid super acid catalyst

In this study, 40 % H3PW12O40/ZrO2 catalyst was synthesized, characterized and tested for conversion of levulinic acid (LA) and ethanol (EtOH) to ethyl levulinate (EL). The catalyst was prepared through wetimpregnation method. Catalyst characterization using BET and NH3-TPD revealed that the catalyt...
