Kumar, Anuj published the artcileExtractive separation of levulinic acid using natural and chemical solvents, Name: n-Octanol, the main research area is extractive separation levulinic acid natural chem solvent.
Levulinic acid is an organic compound which has been replacing petroleum products in different sectors such as biofuel and chem. industry. It can be used in the manufacture of plastics, rubber, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, etc. Levulinic acid separation from aqueous streams, different types of solvents such as natural solvents (sunflower and groundnut oil), and various chem. solvents (benzene, iso-butanol, and iso-octanol) at 298.15 K were used. Using equilibrium data various parameters such as: efficiency of extraction, distribution coefficient, dimerization constant, and partition coefficient were calculated and correlated with typical physicochem. properties, mol. weight, d., dipole moment, viscosity, dielec. constant, solubility in water, octanol-water partition coefficient, refractive index, etc. The obtained exptl. extraction results for separation of levulinic acid were compared with various solvents used. The maximum value of distribution coefficient and efficiency of extraction of levulinic acid was obtained for iso-butanol (1.357, 57.276%) and min. value for sunflower oil (0.077, 7.086%) resp.
