Synergic Effect of Sulfur on Activated Carbon-Catalyzed Hydrocracking of Di(1-naphthyl)methane

As a model reaction for coal liquefaction, the hydrocracking of di(1-naphthyl)methane (DNM) was investigated under different reaction conditions. The results show that activated carbon selectively catalyzes DNM hydrocracking and that sulfur has a synergic effect on the activated carbon-catalyzed hyd...

Description
Summary:As a model reaction for coal liquefaction, the hydrocracking of di(1-naphthyl)methane (DNM) was investigated under different reaction conditions. The results show that activated carbon selectively catalyzes DNM hydrocracking and that sulfur has a synergic effect on the activated carbon-catalyzed hydrocracking of DNM. The synergic effect can be ascribed to the catalysis of the activated carbon in H2S dissociation.
