One-Step Conversion of Crab Shells to Levulinic Acid Catalyzed by Ionic Liquids: Self-Healing of Chitin Fraction

Abstract

A highly selective route to produce levulinic acid (LA) from raw crab shells in one step has been provided by the catalysis of the ionic liquid (IL) 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)imidazolium hydrogen s...
