Title: Special catalyst systems for the synthesis and conversion of some oxygenates
Abstract: The effect of impregnating metal on carbon catalysts with liquid films immiscible with the bulk solvent on rate and selectivity in liquid phase hydrogenations has been investigated. Both acid and alkaline films have been used with benzene and phenol as the reactant. The bifunctional character of such catalysts has been demonstrated and a substantial improvement in selectivity for the hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone has been achieved. The factors contributing to the observed phenomena in such multi phase catalytic reactions are discussed.
