Abs~a~Catalytic hydrodeehlorination of chlorobenzene (CB) was carried out in the liquid phase in a mixture of methanol/water (MeOH/H20) at 30~ and 2 kg/cm 2 pressure. The reaction orders with respect to CB and 1-12 pressure were one and zero, respectively. Addition of NH4OH in the reaction produces a decrease in the activity (TOF). Solvent effect shows the following order of activity: H20 > MeOH/H20 > EtOH/H20 > MeOH.
Bimetallic PtSn/γ -Al 2 O 3 -La 2 O 3 catalysts were prepared by two comparative methods, successive impregnation (SI) and controlled surface reaction (CSR). FTIR-pyridine adsorption revealed a decrease in support acidity as a function of lanthanum content. Oxidized Pt 2+ was identified by CO-FTIR chemisorption and by XPS spectra on catalysts prepared by SI. When the CSR preparation method was used, reduced Pt 0 was observed and oxidized Pt 2+ was not detected. As the lanthanum content increased a diminution in cyclohexane dehydrogenation and n-heptane conversion was observed. Low hydrogenolysis and high selectivity to C 7 -olefins were obtained in both preparations. It is proposed that lanthanum in SI catalysts stabilizes the platinum in an oxidation state, Pt 2+ , and diminishes the support acidity. In CSR preparations the lanthanum effect is limited to inhibit the support acidity and hence to the bifunctional reactions occurring during the n-heptane conversion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
