Catalytic Conversion of Dihydroxyacetone to Lactic Acid Using Metal Salts in Water

We herein present a study on the application of homogeneous catalysts in the form of metal salts on the conversion of trioses, such as dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and glyceraldehyde (GLY) to lactic acid (LA) in water. A wide range of metal salts (26 in total) were examined. AlIII salts were identified a...
