The process variables such as catalyst loading (X-1), n-octanol to LA molar ratio (X-2) and reaction temperature (X-3) were optimized through response surface methodology (RSM), using Box-Behnken model. Analysis of variance was performed to determine the adequacy and significance of the quadratic model. The yield of octyl levulinate was obtained to be 99% at optimum process parameters. The developed quadratic model was found to be adequate and statistically accurate with correlation value (R-2) of 0.9971 to predict the yield of octyl levulinate biolubricant. The study was also extended on the validation of theoretical and experimental data, including catalyst reusability.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.49</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nandiwale, Kakasaheb Y.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bokade, Vijay V.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optimization by box-behnken experimental design fur synthesis of n-hexyl levulinate biolubricant over hierarchical H-ZSM-5: an effort towards agricultural waste minimization</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Process Safety and Environmental Protection</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agricultural waste feedstock</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esterification</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hierarchical-HZ-5</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">n-Hexyl levulinate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optimization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Response surface methodology</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">INST CHEMICAL ENGINEERS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">165-189 RAILWAY TERRACE, DAVIS BLDG, RUGBY CV21 3HQ, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">159-166</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The present study is devoted to develop efficient catalytic process for conversion of agricultural waste feedstock to value added chemicals. In this context, the n-hexyl levulinate, a renewable biolubricant was synthesized by esterification of biomass derived levulinic acid (LA) with n-hexanol in a closed batch system. Hierarchical-HZ-5 (modified H-ZSM-5) was used as a heterogeneous acid catalyst. There are no reports available on the synthesis of n-hexyl levulinate biolubricant using renewable levulinic acid. The process variables such as catalyst to LA ratio (X-1), n-hexanol to LA molar ratio (X-2), reaction time (X-3) and reaction temperature (X-4) were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM), using the Box-Behnken model. Analysis of variance was done to check the suitability and significance of the quadratic model. The yield of n-hexyl levulinate obtained was 97% with 100% selectivity at optimum process parameters. The RSM analysis predicted that catalyst to LA ratio is most significant (value of p &amp;lt; 0.0001) and n-hexanol to LA molar ratio is least significant (value of p = 0.0064) process parameter in esterification. The quadratic model established was revealed to be suitable and statistically precise with correlation value (R-2) of 0.9837 to predict the yield of n-hexyl levulinate.
