<p>This dataset contains raw data from experiments on the catalytic hydrogenation of levulinic acid by carbon supported ruthenium nanoparticles. The dataset includes:<br></p><p>-A spreadsheet of raw HPLC data and calibration curves of levulinic acid and gamma valerolactone, as well as the HPLC derived peak areas and conversion data for the catalytic reactions.</p><p>-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy survey and Ru, Ti, O, C and Cl narrow scans of a selection of the Ru/C catalyst, in the native .vms format</p><p>-A spreadsheet of the raw particle sizes of four catalysts, used to determine their particle size distributions.</p><p>Research results based upon these data are published at https://doi.org/10.3390/catal9090748<br></p><p><br></p>
