摘要
The sulfonated carbon derived from loofah sponge are prepared and used as catalysts to synthesize ethyl levulinate. Various synthetic and reaction parameters on the catalytic efficiency are comparatively investigated. The acidic density of the resultant catalysts with a satisfactory reusability is as high as 1.59 mmol g(-1). The conversion of levulinic acid can reach 91% under the optimized conditions. The results show that the catalysts have great potential to be an environmentally friendly alternative solid acid for the synthesis of ethyl levulinate fuel additive.
