Highly active MgO catalysts for hydrogenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone using formic acid as the hydrogen source

This study presents an evaluation of catalytic performance of unsupported simple oxide catalysts with varying acid-base properties for the vapor phase hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) using formic acid (FA) in an aqueous medium. Among the different oxides tested MgO cata...
