Titania supported Ni catalyst modified by different lanthanides (La, Ce, Pr and Nd) were evaluated for the one-step conversion of levulinic acid (LA) to valeric acid (VA) using formic acid as a hydrogen source. Among these, the La modified Ni/TiO2 demonstrated better VA yields with an optimum LA to VA mole ratio of 1:3. Pyridine and/or formic acid adsorbed IR studies revealed that presence of weak Lewis and strong basic sites present on the Ni-La/TiO2 surface was the reason for higher VA selectivity. The physicochem. characteristics of the modified Ni-M/TiO2 (M = La, Ce, Pr and Nd) catalysts deduced from H2-TPR, N2O titration, TPD of NH3 and catalytic activity data emphasized a combination of metallic Ni with surface acid-base sites were responsible for the formation of VA in single step. Using aqueous γ-valerolactone, 99% selectivity towards VA was achieved. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed based on the kinetic data obtained at moderate temperatures and ambient pressures.
