Abstract
The valorization of biomass and its transformation into fuels are highly interesting due to the abundance of biomass and its almost neutral carbon emissions. In this article, we show the production of γ-valerolactone (GVL), a valuable product, from furfural (FF), a compound that can be easily obtained from biomass. This FF to GVL transformation involves a catalytic cascade reaction with two hydrogenation steps. Pt and/or Zr supported on sepiolite catalysts have been prepared and tested in the FF transformation reaction. A physical mixture of a Zr-based and a Pt-based catalyst has reached a yield to GVL of ca. 50% after 16 h at 180 °C. This performance largely exceeds that obtained by each of the single Pt or single Zr metal catalysts independently, showing a strong synergistic effect. These data suggest that each metal (Pt and Zr) plays an important and complementary role in different reaction steps. Furthermore, the physical mixture appears to be much more efficient than bimetallic Pt/Zr catalysts synthesized with the same amount of metals. The role of the type of acidity and the oxidation state of the surface platinum species on the catalytic performance has been discussed. Moreover, this reaction has been carried out in batch and continuous flow reactors, and a comparative study between the two operation modes has been undertaken. A certain correlation between the catalytic results obtained by both operation modes has been found.

Abstract
Preparation of the high value-added chemical 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF) from the biomass-derived platform molecule 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is of great significance in the preparation of biofuels. Here, a bottom-up strategy was used to prepare a metal-organic framework (MOF) material with a two-dimensional nanosheet morphology, named CPM, in which an additive 2-methylimidazole was introduced into the hydrothermal process of Cu2+ ions and terephthalic acid. Subsequently, CPM-700 prepared by heat treatment under an inert atmosphere showed excellent catalytic performance in the reaction of HMF hydrodeoxygenation to 2,5-DMF. The materials before and after pyrogenation were characterized by PXRD, XPS, TEM, N2 adsorption and desorption and so on. It was confirmed that compared with the catalyst derived from the cubic MOF material self-assembled by Cu2+ and terephthalic acid, the morphology of 2D nanosheets was beneficial for the reaction of HMF to 2,5-DMF. Combined with the experimental data, the possible reaction path of 2,5-DMF preparation from HMF is that 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran was formed by hydrogenation of the aldehyde group on the furan ring, and then 2,5-DMF was obtained by hydrogenolysis. This paper provides an effective route for 2D MOF-derived catalytic materials in the selective hydrogenation of HMF.

Abstract
Functional use of biomass based on its structural properties is an efficient approach for the valuable utilization of biomass resources. In this work, carboxymethyl cellulose zirconium-based catalyst (Zr-CMC) was constructed by the coordination between the carboxylic groups in sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) with transition metal Zr4+. The prepared catalyst was applied into the synthesis of furfuryl alcohol (FAL) by catalytic transfer hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural (FF) using isopropanol as hydrogen donor. Both the preparation conditions and the reaction conditions of Zr-CMC catalyst were investigated and optimized. The results showed that Zr-CMC was efficient for the reaction with the FF conversion, FAL yield and selectivity reaching to 92.5%, 91.5 %, and 99.0%, respectively, under the mild conditions (90°C). Meanwhile, the Zr-CMC catalyst could be reused at least for five times without obvious decrease in efficiency, indicating the catalyst had excellent stability. With the advantages of sustainable raw materials, high efficiency, and excellent stability, the prepared catalyst is potential for application in the field of biomass conversion.
