Preparation of levulinic acid and 5-(chloromethyl)furfural directly from terrestrial and marine biomass in a batch reactor under conventional and microwave heating
Lignocellulosic waste and seaweed represent second- and third-generation biomass resources, respectively, with significant potential as renewable feedstocks for the sustainable production of liquid fuels and value-added organic chemicals. In this study, the production of levulinic acid (LA) and 5-(chloromethyl)furfural...
