The name levulinic acid was named by Grote in 1950 and was chosen as a high potential C for the synthesis of high value-added chemicals in the 50 s of the 20 th century5A compound is provided. In 2004, Werpy and Petersen listed levulinic acid as "TOP 12 Large platform chemical". The application of the compound in the industries of pesticide, solvent, medicine, food additive, cosmetics and the like is increasingly wide, and the economic growth is expected to be continuously promoted in the coming years. In 2013, the global market demand for levulinic acid is 2606.2 tons, and 3820 tons is expected to be reached by 2020. The predicted market share of levulinic acid in 2013 is as follows: 23.3% of medicine, 42.8% of agriculture, 13% of cosmetics and 21% of food additive, wherein the price fluctuates between $ 1000 and $ 3000 per ton.
At present, the domestic levulinic acid preparation industry mainly carries out catalytic conversion by inorganic acid, the industrial process has high energy consumption and serious environmental pollution, and does not meet the requirements of the current chemical industry. In addition, a method for producing levulinic acid by using biomass raw materials such as starch and cellulose is also a relatively common method, the biomass raw materials and inorganic acid (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and the like) or salt (cobalt sulfate, ferric sulfate and aluminum sulfate) solution thereof are heated together at a high temperature, the reaction temperature is between 100 and 250 ℃, and then the levulinic acid is obtained by filtering, separating and purifying, wherein the reaction mechanism is as follows: the biomass raw material is hydrolyzed into glucose, the glucose is further decomposed into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and other side reaction products under the high-temperature condition, and the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is decomposed into levulinic acid and formic acid under the acidic condition.
The Guangxi is the biggest cassava advantage producing area in China, the cassava planting and the cassava yield are the first in China, and about 80% of cassava starch and cassava powder are provided by the Guangxi every year in China. Meanwhile, Guangxi is a big province of oil and coal shortage, and the industrial development taking cassava ethanol as a characteristic resource can reduce the dependence on fossil fuel, promote the quality of fuel oil to be improved, improve the atmospheric quality, stimulate agriculture and provide more employment opportunities. Therefore, research and development of a new levulinic acid production process are carried out, the concept of green chemical industry is fully exerted by utilizing the advantageous crop cassava in Guangxi, and the method has important significance for fully exerting the advantages of the Guangxi cassava industry.
However, the above conventional methods for preparing levulinic acid from biomass raw materials have the problems of long reaction time, low conversion rate of levulinic acid and the like, and therefore, a better method for producing levulinic acid from biomass raw materials cassava needs to be explored.

(2) hydrothermal reaction: adding the pretreated starch into a hydrothermal reaction kettle, and then adding 1600mL of AlCl3Hydrothermal reaction in water solution (adding AlCl according to per gram starch)3The amounts of which are respectively 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.125, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3mmol, are divided into 8 groups), the reaction temperature is 200 ℃, the reaction time is 2 hours, and then the obtained reaction solution is cooled and filtered through a filter membrane with the pore diameter of 0.22 mu m to obtain the levulinic acid.
The yield of levulinic acid (using Y) of comparative example 1 and examples 1-2 was comparedLExpressed) and yield of glucose (in Y)GShown) were compared, respectively, and the results are shown in fig. 1 and 2. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, AlCl is added per gram of starch3When the amount of the active ingredient is 0.05-0.1mmol, the active ingredient is subjected to mechanical activation pretreatment (MA) and mechanical activation plus metal Lewis acid pretreatment (MA-AlCl)3) The yield of levulinic acid in tapioca starch is at a higher level than in Untreated (unrated) tapioca starch. The cassava powder is pretreated by mechanical activation, so that the crystal structure and the particle structure of the cassava starch are obviously destroyed, and the cassava starch and AlCl are added3The contact reaction sites are simultaneously reduced by the cassava starch paste liquid after mechanical activation pretreatment3Diffusion resistance of (2) to AlCl3The cassava starch is easier to diffuse into the molecules of the cassava starch to hydrolyze the cassava starch, so that the catalytic reaction is enhanced; in addition, mechanical activation works in conjunction with AlCl3The cassava starch is pretreated, and the metal Lewis acid can enter the cassava powder particles more smoothly during the hydrothermal reaction, so that AlCl is added into each gram of starch3When the amount of (b) is 0.075mmol, MA-AlCl3The yield of the levulinic acid of the pretreated cassava starch and the MA pretreated cassava starch is obviously higher than that of the same cassava starchUntreated tapioca starch, MA and MA-AlCl under equal conditions3The levulinic acid yield of the pretreated cassava starch is respectively obtained by adding AlCl into each gram of starch3The amounts of 0.075 and 0.1mmol are maximum, whereas the untreated tapioca starch is charged with AlCl per gram of starch3The maximum levulinic acid yield is reached at 0.15 mmol.
The levulinic acid yield begins to decline gradually after the maximum levulinic acid yield is reached, because the crystal structure and the grain structure of the tapioca starch have been completely destroyed and can be reacted with AlCl3Fully contact reaction, the starch molecules in the amorphous area are fully contacted with AlCl3And converted into glucose, so that AlCl is continuously increased3The amount used has no promoting effect on the catalytic effect.

The yield of the levulinic acid is increased rapidly within 0.5-2.0 h, and the MA and MA-AlCl are generated because the crystal structure and the particle structure of the cassava flour are obviously damaged by the mechanical activation pretreatment3The levulinic acid yield value of the pretreated starch rises faster, but the highest levulinic acid yield of the three different pretreated cassava starches is achieved within 2 hours, and the levulinic acid yield value is greatly reduced after 2-5 hours, which indicates that the levulinic acid further reacts to generate gamma-valerolactone, so that the optimal reaction time for catalytic conversion of the cassava starch is 2 hours. And when the reaction time is 2-3h, the reaction is carried out by MA and MA-AlCl3The yield of levulinic acid of the pretreated tapioca starch is high compared to the yield of levulinic acid of Untreated (unrated) tapioca starch. In conclusion, it can be seen that the pretreatment of starch by mechanical activation has the effect of increasing the yield of levulinic acid, and that the mechanical activation and AlCl3The co-pretreatment of starch shows a synergistic effect in increasing the yield of levulinic acid.
