Re/Sibunite is a more active and selective catalyst for hydrogenation of ethyl acetate to ethanol under elevated temperatures and hydrogen pressures than Re/0-AI203 and Re/~/--AI203. The activity of the catalyst is increased on replacing NH4ReO 4 with HReO4 and treatment of the support with a 13% solution of HNO 3.
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.
