Celulosa sulfonada como catalizador para la conversión eficiente de ácido levulínico en levulinato de etilo
Resumen
Este estudio destaca el uso de ácido sulfúrico de celulosa como catalizador heterogéneo y reutilizable derivado de biomasa (Cortaderia Selloana) para sintetizar levulinato de etilo mediante esterificación catalítica de ácido levulínico con etanol. Se estudiaron los efectos de la temperatura, la carga del catalizador y la relación molar de etanol:ácido levulínico sobre el rendimiento de levulinato de etilo para optimizar la producción. Se logró un rendimiento del 95% a las 16 horas, 80 °C y una relación molar de 3:1 de etanol:ácido levulínico. Estos resultados demuestran que es factible obtener altos rendimientos de levulinato de etilo utilizando un catalizador derivado de biomasa.
