Vr. Choudhary et Mg. Sane, EFFECT OF PREPARATION CONDITIONS OF RANEY-NICKEL ON ITS CATALYTIC PROPERTIES FOR SLURRY PHASE HYDROGENATION OF O-NITROPHENOL TO O-AMINOPHENOL, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 5(4), 1998, pp. 199-208
Influence of leaching conditions of Ni-Al alloy (50% Al) on the cataly
tic activity of Raney Ni (in the hydrogenation of o-nitrophenol at 308
K and H-2-pressure of 1508 kPa) has been studied and optimum conditio
ns for the preparation of Raney-Ni catalyst for the hydrogenation proc
ess have been obtained. The hydrogenation activity of Raney-Ni is foun
d to be strongly influenced by its preparation conditions.
