Levulinic acid (cas 123-76-2) derived from biomass is a versatile platform molecule, which can be used in manufacturing different compounds to replace fossil-based chemicals. In this study, the effect of sulfolane as solvent in sulphuric acid catalysed levulinic acid production from glucose was investigated. The broad sulfolane concentration range was systematically studied and a kinetic model was developed to describe the levulinic acid production. A significant increase in glucose conversion rate was observed when the proportion of sulfolane in the solvent mixture was increased. The maximum selectivity of the levulinic acid production was found to be slightly over 50% and independent of the solvent composition. Thus, with sulfolane solvent, the same yields can be obtained in a significantly shorter time or at a lower temperature as when water is used as solvent. Sulfolane was also found to keep the generated by-products in soluble form. This will decrease fouling of the process equipment, which has been a major issue in designing of levulinic acid production processes.
