Abstract
Abstract The catalytic production of lactic acid from biomass derivatives over solid base catalysts was studied for future sustainable societies. The activated hydrotalcites catalyzed the lactic acid production from d -glucose in flow reactors at 323 K under water media. The number of accessible Bronsted-base sites of hydrotalcite (Mg/Al = 2) activated at 723 K as determined by the ion-exchange method with sodium salts, based on the OH/Al ratio, was about 39% which was much higher than that of the hydrotalcite activated at 573 K. The catalytic activity for the lactic acid production showed a linear increase with the number of the Bronsted-base sites.
