发明名称 SOLUTE-ENHANCED PRODUCTION OF GAMMA-VALEROLACTONE (GVL) FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF LEVULINIC ACID
摘要 A method to produce levulinic acid (LA) and gamma-valerolactone (GVL) from biomass-derived cellulose or lignocellulose by selective extraction of LA using GVL and optionally converting the LA so isolated into GVL, with no purifications steps required to yield the GVL.

主权项 1. A method to isolate levulinic acid (LA), the method comprising: (a) providing an aqueous solution comprising LA and a sufficient concentration of a water-soluble solute to yield a solution that is substantially immiscible with gamma-valerolactone (GVL); and (b) extracting LA from the aqueous solution of step (a) using an extraction solvent comprising GVL.
