XRD pattern showed the presence of Cu(+) species in the activated Cu: Al nano catalyst. Although Cu(+) is catalytically inactive in glycerol hydrogenolysis reaction, the presence of Cu(+) helps to stabilize the particle size in a narrow range of 7-11 nm by inhibiting the sintering of copper particles under reaction conditions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.907</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hengne, Amol M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rode, Chandrashekhar V.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cu-ZrO2 nanocomposite catalyst for selective hydrogenation of levulinic acid and its ester to gamma-valerolactone</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Green Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1064-1072</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Several copper based catalysts were prepared, characterized and evaluated for the hydrogenation of levulinic acid and its methyl ester. Among these, nanocomposites of Cu-ZrO2 and Cu-Al2O3 quantitatively catalyzed the hydrogenation of levulinic acid and its methyl ester to give 90-100% selectivity to gamma-valerolactone in methanol and water respectively. Both the Cu-ZrO2 and Cu-Al2O3 nanocomposites were prepared by the co-precipitation method using mixed precursors under controlled conditions. XRD results showed that the main active phase of the reduced Cu-ZrO2 catalyst was metallic copper and particle size was found to be of 10-14 nm by HRTEM. The active metal leaching was at a maximum for the Cu-Al2O3 catalyst in a water medium due to the formation of a copper-carboxylate complex that was blue in colour. Surprisingly, copper leaching was completely suppressed in the case of the Cu-ZrO2 catalyst in methanol in spite of the substrate loading was increased from 5 to 20% w/w. The excellent recyclability of the Cu-ZrO2 catalyst with complete LA conversion and &amp;gt; 90% GVL selectivity makes it a sustainable process having a commercial potential.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.828
