The Earth's sustainable development is threatened by the increasing atmospheric CO2 level which can be attributed to the imbalance of CO2 due to the rapid consumption of fossil fuels caused by human activities and the slow absorption and conversion of CO2 by nature. One of the efficient methods for reconstructing the balance of CO2 should involve the rapid conversion of CO2 into fuels and chemicals...
In this paper, the hydrothermal conversion of glucose to lactic acid (LA) using sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) as a mild base catalyst was investigated. The results showed that Na2SiO3 was effective catalyst for the conversion of glucose. The highest LA yield of about 30% was obtained from glucose with a lower concentration of Na2SiO3 at 300°C for 60s. It was also found that the use of Na2SiO3 led to a...
