A Study of Nitrobenzene Hydrogenation Over Palladium/Carbon Catalysts

The hydrogenation of nitrobenzene has been studied over three palladium/carbon catalysts using methanol and isopropanol as solvents. A solvent and palladium particle size effect have both been observed, with the nature of the particle size effect dependent upon the solvent. This may be related to a...

Description
Summary:The hydrogenation of nitrobenzene has been studied over three palladium/carbon catalysts using methanol and isopropanol as solvents. A solvent and palladium particle size effect have both been observed, with the nature of the particle size effect dependent upon the solvent. This may be related to a change in the rate-determining step.
