Zusammenfassung:Levulinic acid is considered as a promising green platform chemical derived from biomass.The kinetics of levulinic acid accumulation in the hydrolysis process of wheat straw was investigated in the study.Using dilute sulfuric acid as a catalyst,the kinetic experiments were performed in a temperature range of 190-230°C and an acid concentration range of 1%-5% (by mass) .A simple model of first-order series reactions was developed,which provided a satisfactory interpretation of the experimental results.The kinetics of main intermediates including sugar and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF) were also established.The kinetic parameters provided useful information for understanding the hydrolysis process.
