Chemical Grade Dibutyl Ketone Production
This report provides a techno-economic analysis of Dibutyl Ketone (DBK) production from levulinic acid in the United States. In this process, levulinic acid is hydrogenated over two catalytic bed, generating Fuel Grade DBK (90 wt% purity), which is further purified to produce Chemical Grade DBK (99.5 wt% purity). Valeric acid (86 wt% purity) is also generated as by-product.
