Abstract

Selective hydrogenation of o-xylene on silica supported noble metals Pd, Rh, Ni, Pt, Ir, Ru, Os and Re has been studied. A correlation between the heat capacity of the metal conduction electrons and the selectivity towards the cis-product was found. Thermal effect in activity and selectivity is reported.

Abstract

Исследовали селективное гидрирование о-ксилола на благородных металлах Pd, Rh, Ni, Pt, Ir, Ru, Os и Re, нанесенных на Al2O3. Найдена корреляция между теплоемкостью электронопроводных металлов и селективностью к образованию цис-продуктов. Сообщают о термическом эффекте на активность и селективность.
