Abstract:Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysts are the promising substitutes of the Pd/Al 2 O 3 catalysts to selective hydrogenation 1,3-butadiene in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) C 4 fraction. Preparation conditions have an important influence on the activities of the Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysts. The experiment results proved that the 20 wt% nickel catalyst, which were calcined at 300 ı C for 2 hours then reduced at 300 ı C for 9 hours, had the highest activity. On the basis of the temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and x-ray diffract… Show more
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.
