Deposition of catalytically active metal‐containing compounds on solid porous supports by using superheated (subcritical) water is a promising way to produce materials with unique physicochemical and catalytic properties. The hydrothermal method has been found to give catalysts with high surface area, fine distribution of the active phase, and high catalytic activity. In the current work, the catalytic activities of 10 % Ni and 10 % Co deposited on hyper‐cross‐linked polystyrene (HPS) by the hydrothermal method in the supercritical deoxygenation of fatty acids were compared. 10 % Ni/HPS was found to be the most active catalyst in the deoxygenation of stearic acid in supercritical n‐hexane.
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.
