Phenol In Situ Hydrogenation with Carbon Nanotube-Supported Pd Catalyst

Abstract:

Carbon nanotube (CNT) and activated carbon (AC)-supported Pd catalysts have been prepared by impregnation and reduction-precipitation method using chloropalladate acid as metal precursor. The catalytic performance for phenol in-situ hydrogenation was evaluated under 493 K, 3.5MPa. The results show that Pd/CNTs catalyst has higher selective for phenol in-situ hydrogenation to cyclohexanone. The catalysts have been characterised by CO-TPD and TEM. The mesoporosity structure and inner hollow cavities of Pd/CNTs catalyst are responsible for the distinguished properties.
