    Resum: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The progressive decline of using fossil sources in the industry means that alternative resources must be found to produce chemicals. Waste biomass (sewage sludge) and waste lignocellulosic resources (food, forestry, or paper industries) are ideal candidates to take over from fossil sources. Municipal sewage sludge, and especially primary sludge, has a significant proportion of cellulose in its composition. Proper treatment of this cellulose allows the production of interesting chemicals like levulinic acid that are precursors (bio-blocks or building blocks) for other organic chemical processes. Cellulose was extracted from municipal wet primary sludge and paper industry dried sludge with a commercial ionic liquid. More than 99% of the cellulose has been recovered in both cases. Extraction was followed by the bleaching of the cellulose for its purification. In the bleaching, a large part of the ash was removed (up to 70% with municipal sludge). Finally, the purified cellulose was converted in levulinic acid by catalyzed hydrothermal liquefaction. The reaction, done at 170◦C and 7 bar, catalyzed by a tailored Brønsted acidic ionic liquid produced levulinic acid and other by-products in smaller quantities. The process had a conversion of cellulose to levulinic acid of 0.25 with municipal sludge and of 0.31 with industrial sludge. These results fully justify the process but, require further study to increase the conversion of cellulose to levulinic acid.
