英文摘要：

Levulinic acid（LA） can be prepared through the hydrolyzation of celluloses,and can be used as a precursor or intermediate for many valuable chemicals and biofuel through hydrogenation,esterification,condensation,oxidation and deoxygenation. LA is a renewable biomass-derived platform compound and attracted much attention for its application in the production of biofuel. This review focused on the recent progresses in the LA preparation from celluloses and its further transformation to biofuel by means of catalysis. The challenging research and potential application in the replacement of fossil fuel with biofuel from LA were forecasted.
