Colloid and Nanosized Catalysts in Organic Synthesis: XXII. Hydrogenation of Cycloolefins Catalyzed by Immobilized Transition Metals Nanoparticles in a Three-Phase System.

The processes of unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbons hydrogenation in a three-phase gas-liquid-solid catalyst system in the presence of nanostructured nickel, cobalt, or iron catalysts in a flow reactor at 130°C and atmospheric pressure have studied. RX3Extra activated carbon, γ-Al2O3, NaX zeolite, and Purolite CT-175 cation-exchange resin have been used as supports; NaBH4 and NH2NH2·H2O were used as reducing agents. The catalytic activity of supported nanoparticles and their selectivity with respect to the product of exhaustive hydrogenation have been investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
