Abstract
Abstract Levulinic acid and its esters, important intermediate chemicals produced from biomass resources, were converted to γ-valerolactone via a catalytic transfer hydrogenation process over silica-supported zirconia catalysts. Silica support with a higher surface area provided highly dispersed active zirconium oxide species, which exhibited superior catalytic activity to the conventional ZrO2 catalyst.
