91 Hydrogenation activity of carbon-supported Mn_2O_3-NiO-H_3PO_4 catalysts

Abstract

The effect of activated carbon as a support for Mn_2O_3-NiO-H_3PO_4 catalyst was studied by using a fixed bed flow reactor under a high hydrogen pressure. By using carbon support, the reaction temperature for the hydrogenation of anthracene was lowered by 50〜60℃ to get the same activity. The H_2-TPD profiles of MNP/AC and MNP/AL catalysts showed that significant amount of hydrogen was adsorbed on MNP/AC, compared to MNP/AL.
