G. Vitulli et al., PT GAMMA-AL2O3 CATALYTIC MEMBRANES VS PT ON GAMMA-AL2O3 POWDERS IN THE SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF P-CHLORONITROBENZENE/, Catalysis letters, 44(3-4), 1997, pp. 205-210
The catalytic activity of Pt/gamma-Al2O3 membrane reactors, prepared u
sing mesitylene solvated platinum atoms as source of active Pt particl
es, has been compared with that of analogously obtained Pt/gamma-Al2O3
powders in the liquid phase hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene. A
largely different behaviour has been observed, the membrane reactor ac
ting as a H-2 richer system.
