Biomass conversion is one of the most effective ways for alleviating the energy and environmental crisis. A series of CuZn/Al₂O₃ catalysts was prepared by co-precipitation method and the structure and properties of the catalysts obtained were characterized by several techniques such as inductively coupled plasma (ICP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and CO₂-temperature programmed desorption (TPD). We focused our attention on the effects of reduction temperature on the catalytic performances of CuZn/Al₂O₃ catalysts in γ-valerolactone hydrogenation. It is found that reduction of temperature significantly influences the activity and selectivity of CuZn/Al₂O₃ catalysts, that is, the larger reduction temperature benefits for the formation of 1, 4-pentanediol, and a high selectivity of 98% is achieved over the catalyst at 440℃, while it is only 71% on the catalyst reduced at 200℃. Based on the structure analysis of the catalyst, it is concluded that the high reduction temperature can promote the reduction of ZnO and generate new surface active sites and vary the surface basic-acid properties, thus result in the improvement of 1, 4-pentanediol selectivity.
