Abstract

The development of the catalytic conversion of biomass-based platform molecules into oxygenated fuel molecules is of great significance in order to reduce the dependence on fossil resources and to solve environmental problems. Alkyl valerate esters were proven to have the potential to be renewable additives of gasoline and diesel. In this work, we studied the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to valerate esters over supported Ru catalysts, ...
