Levulinic acid production from wheat straw.
TL;DR: The coefficient determination (R(2)) was good for the second-order model and the optimal conditions for levulinic acid production from wheat straw were 209.3 degrees C, 3.5% acid concentration, 15.6 liquid:solid ratio and 37.6 min of reaction time resulted 19.86% yield.
