Almeida, Leandro D.; Rocha, Ana Luiza A.; Rodrigues, Thenner S.; Robles-Azocar, Patricia A. published the artcile< Highly selective hydrogenation of levulinic acid catalyzed by Ru on TiO2-SiO2 hybrid support>, Application In Synthesis of 112-63-0, the main research area is levulinate hydrogenation ruthenium titania silica hybrid catalyst.
Levulinic acid is an important mol. of biomass and the gamma-valerolactone (GVL) is one of the most promising compound from levulinic acid. We have developed an efficient catalyst for the catalytic conversion of LA into GVL, ruthenium based catalyst in silica, titania and a silica-titania hybrid support The prepared catalysts were characterized by TEM, XRD, TPR and nitrogen adsorption anal. The results have shown higher catalytic activity of Ru/TiO2-SiO2 than Ru/TiO2 either Ru/SiO2. Herein, we report that yields higher than 90% were obtained for gamma-valerolactone from levulinic acid hydrogenation catalyzed by Ru/TiO2-SiO2 at 100°C and 20 atm of hydrogen without additives.
Catalysis Today published new progress about Hydrogenation catalysts. 112-63-0 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C19H34O2, Application In Synthesis of 112-63-0.
