Optimization of oil palm fronds conversion to Levulinic Acid using Fe/HY Zeolite Catalyst
Levulinic acid (LA) is a versatile platform chemical with numerous potential uses. Conversion of oil palm fronds (OPF) to LA over Fe/HY zeolite catalyst has been conducted in this study. The optimization process using Box-Behnken design gave 19.6% of LA yield at 181.7°C reaction temperature, 7.7 h r...
