Hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) represents a significant approach for producing the high-value biomass-based platform compound γ-valerolactone (GVL). In this study, an efficient RuIr alloy bimetallic catalyst supported on SiC was synthesized and applied aqueous hydrogenation LA into GVL under mild conditions. The RuIr/SiC exhibited high conversion selectivity (both > 99%) in water at 0.2 MPa H2 pressure 25 °C. excellent performance is attributed to synergistic interaction between Ru Ir nanoparticles semiconducting support. Furthermore, catalytic activity remained basically unchanged after five cycles, confirming stability catalyst.
