Value added chemicals, fuels, and fuel additives can be obtained from cheap bio masses such as levulinic acid. Levulinic acid is the dehydration and hydrolysis products of pentoses and hexoses. The present work deals with the synthesis of sulphobenzylated Al-SBA-15, [SO3H-Bz-Al-SBA-15], characterization by various analytical techniques such as XRD, BET, FT-IR, TGA, DTA, FE-SEM/EDS and HR-TEM/EDX techniques and evaluation of catalytic activity towards esterification of levulinic acid to ethyl levulinate under mild and non corrosive conditions. Sulphonation of the aromatic ring of the benzyl group has been done in different amounts to get nanoporous x% SO3H-Bz-Al-SBA-15 catalysts where (x = 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.10% w/w). Among them 0.08% SO3H-Bz-Al-SBA-15 catalyst showed the highest conversion of levulinic acid (100%) with the highest selectivity towards ethyl levulinate (100%). Esterification of levulinic acid has been carried out with different primary alcohols and all of them yielded 100% selectivity towards alkyl levulinate. However conversion level of levulinic acid was found to be different with different alcohols. Reaction conditions have been optimized. The results were compared with other supported catalysts and discussed.
