TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of a study into the performance and management practices of 18 autocomponents plants, nine of which were located in the UK and nine in Japan.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Pd/TiO2 catalyst was used for the selective hydrogenation of furfural at ambient temperature and the effect of the solvent was studied and high activity and selectivity to 2-methylfuran and furfuryl alcohol was observed using octane as solvent but a number of byproducts were observed.

TL;DR: In this article, the hydrogenation of lactic acid to form 1,2-propanediol has been investigated using Ru nanoparticles supported on carbon as a catalyst and two series of catalysts which were prepared by wet impregnation and sol-immobilization were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, methanothermal (Me) and oxalate gel precipitation (Og) methods were used for the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL).

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a range of catalyst preparation parameters, namely molar Cu/Zr ratio, calcination temperature and the ageing time of the precipitates, were systematically investigated for hydrogenation of levulinic acid to give γ-valerolactone (GVL).
