Among these catalysts 5 % Ru/C showed the highest conversion of 95 % of methyl levulinate with 91 % selectivity to GVL. A detailed characterization was carried out using TPR, XRD, XPS and BET techniques. XPS studies revealed that higher extent of Ru-0 species in case of carbon supported Ru was responsible for its higher hydrogenation activity as compared to Ru on other supports. Effect of process parameters such as temperature, H-2 pressure, catalyst and substrate concentration and metal loading on methyl LA conversion and selectivity to GVL also has been studied. 5 % Ru/C catalyst was found to be stable up to five reuses.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.244

The catalyst was well characterized using FT-IR, PXRD, EDX, SEM, C-13 CPNMR, XPS and BET analysis. The catalytic activity of Hf@CCSO3H was evaluated for synthesis of gamma-valerolactone-a potential fuel and green solvent. gamma-valerolactone was synthesized from biomass derived levulinic acid by catalytic transfer hydrogenation using 150 wt% of catalyst at 200 celcius for 24 h in isopropanol solvent as a hydrogen donor. 100% conversion of levulinic acid was achieved with an excellent yield of 96% with more than 99% selectivity of gamma-valerolactone as evident from GC analysis. The method developed is simple, efficient and economical. [GRAPHICS] .&lt;/p&gt;
