Gk. Reddy et al., Effect of support modification by carbon coverage in the dehydrogenation activity of Cu/Al2O3 catalyst, CATAL LETT, 59(2-4), 1999, pp. 157-160
Gamma alumina and carbon covered gamma alumina supported Cu catalysts were
prepared and characterized by adsorptive decomposition of N2O, NH3 chemisor
ption and temperature-programmed reduction. The decrease in interaction of
copper species with alumina of carbon covered alumina has influence on the
conversion and selectivity of the reaction of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone
.
