Stable Continuous Production of γ-Valerolactone from Biomass-Derived Levulinic Acid over Zr–Al-Beta Zeolite Catalyst
The one-pot conversion of biomass-derived platform molecules such as levulinic acid (LA) and furfural (FAL) into γ-valerolactone (GVL) is challenging because of the need for adequate multi-functional catalysts and high-pressure gaseous hydrogen. As a more sustainable alternative, here we describe th...
