Developing micro- and nanomaterials for environmental pollution remediation is currently a pertinent topic. Among the plethora of strategies, designing supported nanocatalysts degradation pollutants has achieved prominence. In this context, we are addressing one UN Sustainable Development Goals by valorizing agrowaste as source biochar, which serves support bimetallic nanocatalysts. Herein, oli...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) supported (10 wt.%) nickel catalysts were evaluated for the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) using a trickle-bed reactor at 180 °C and 30 bar. The effect nature precursors salts (NiNIT- Ni(NO3)2.6H2O, NiACET- Ni(CH3COO)2.4H2O) NiHYD- Ni(OH)2) preparation method on distribution Ni particles inside (CNTIN) outside (CNTOUT) carbon investigated. s...
