Abstract
- Lanthanide triflates are excellent catalysts for the hydrothermal conversion of cellulose to lactic acid. Under the optimum conditions, as high as 89.6% yield of lactic acid was obtained by using Er(OTf)3 as the catalyst. This catalyst could be reused at least five times without obvious loss of activity.
