Optimization of oil palm fronds conversion to levulinic acid using fe/hy zeolite catalyst
Nur Aainaa Syahirah Ramli1, Nor Aishah Saidina Amin2.
Levulinic acid (LA) is a versatile platform chemical with numerous potential uses. Conversion of oil palm fronds (OPF)
to LA over Fe/HY zeolite catalyst has been conducted in this study. The optimization process using Box-Behnken design
gave 19.6% of LA yield at 181.7°C reaction temperature, 7.7 h reaction time, 1.13 g Fe/HY zeolite loading and 0.25 g OPF
loading. The efficiency of OPF conversion at the optimum conditions was determined to be 61.1%. It was also demonstrated
that Fe/HY zeolite gave sufficient performance for five successive cycles of OPF conversion to LA. The results suggested
that Fe/HY zeolite is potential as catalyst for biomass conversion to LA.
