High-Pressure Hydrogenation of Naphthalene Using a Reduced Iron Catalyst

The high-pressure hydrogenation of naphthalene in mineral oil and cyclohexane solvents was studied in trickle flow and vapor-phase reactors with an unsupported iron oxide powder catalyst. This was motivated by the observation that iron is a potential dispersed phase catalyst for syn-fuels production...

Description
Summary:The high-pressure hydrogenation of naphthalene in mineral oil and cyclohexane solvents was studied in trickle flow and vapor-phase reactors with an unsupported iron oxide powder catalyst. This was motivated by the observation that iron is a potential dispersed phase catalyst for syn-fuels production. Several iron catalyst forms were examined. For purposes of comparison, a commercial Ni-Mo/Al sub(2)O sub(3) Catalyst was considered. The results were verified by the proposed Langmuir - Hinshelwood rate expression.
