Vapor-Phase Hydrogenation of Levulinic Acid to γ-Valerolactone Over Bi-Functional Ni/HZSM-5 Catalyst

Vapor-Phase Hydrogenation of Levulinic Acid to γ-Valerolactone Over Bi-Functional Ni/HZSM-5 Catalyst

The hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) in vapor-phase is economically more viable route if compared to reaction in liquid-phase. To improve the GVL yield in the vapor-phase reaction, the optimization of nickel modified zeolite as bi-functional catalyst (Ni/HZSM-5) was stud...
