Abstract

In this chapter, an outline of this thesis is firstly drafted and then a general overview on the use of biomass for chemicals and potential biofuels production will be provided. As shown, the biomass-derived monomers levulinic acid (LA) and γ-valerolactone (GVL) are among the most promising platform chemicals for sustainable production of chemicals and biofuels. The diverse catalytic transformation systems developed for the conversion of different biomass derived-monomers to LA and GVL are also reviewed. Moreover, an overview on the preparation of supported nano-particles catalysts by chemical fluid deposition is also provided here. In the end, a detailed description of contributions from collaborating people is given.
