Abstract
The present paper describes the problems arising in studying the kinetics o f hydrogenation performed in slurry reactors and the ways to solve them. Tw o examples are considered: the hydrogenation of 2-ethyltetrahydroanthraquin one, an important step of the industrial production of hydrogen peroxide, a nd the partial hydrogenation of a rapeseed oil. Both hydrogenations were pe rformed on the same palladium-supported catalyst. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
