Abstract:Levulinic acid (LA), a carboxylic acid with a keto-acid structure, has recently been gaining increasing attention as a promising biorefinery platform chemical due to its potential to be feasible and sustainable. This work focuses on using trioctylamine (TOA) to separate LA from an aqueous solution by liquid–liquid extraction. For that, binodal curves and tie lines were determined at T = (293.15, 313.15, and 333.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The slope of the determined tie lines demonstrates that higher ext… Show more
