The bimetallic catalyst Ru-Pt/ γ -Al 2O 3 was prepared by impregnating H 2PtCl 6 and RuCl 3 aqueous solution in the presence of PVP(40 000). Its catalytic performance in selective hydrogenation of \{ p -chloronitrobenzene\}( p -CNB) was studied. The results indicate that the activity of Ru-Pt/ γ -Al 2O 3[\{ n (ruthenium)\}∶ n (platinum)=4∶1] is much higher than that of Ru/ γ -Al 2O 3,while the amount of dehalogenation product(aniline) and other by-products are much fewer than that by using Pt/ γ -Al 2O 3 as the catalyst. There is synergistic effect of ruthenium and platinum in bimetallic catalyst for selective hydrogenation of p -CNB. Under the reaction conditions t =50 ℃, p H 2 = 1.0 MPa, reaction time 60 min,\{ n (substrate)∶\} n (total amount of metal content)=1000∶1,the conversion of p -CNB and the selectivity to p -chloroaniline( p -CNA) by using Ru-Pt/ γ -Al 2O 3 as the catalyst are 48.2% and 85.9%,respectively. The effect of other metal cations(introduced to the reaction system with the corresponding metal chloride solution) on the reaction was investigated. It was found that catalytic performance of Ru-Pt/ γ -Al 2O 3 could be greatly improved by modfication of some metal cations. When Co 2+ and Ni 2+ were used as modifiers for the catalyst Ru-Pt/ γ -Al 2O 3 under above mentioned reaction conditions,the conversions of p -CNB increase to 74.5% and 87.8%,as well as the selectivities of p -CAN increase to 98.9% and 99.4%,respectively. Fe 3+ and Sn 4+ were the best modifiers for Ru-Pt/ γ -Al 2O 3 under the same reaction conditions. The conversions of p -CNB and the selectivities of p -CAN can reach 100% and >99.0%,respectively. However,the catalysts can be poisoned by Zn 2+ and Sn 2+ .
Mn complexes with N,N′ bis(furaldehyde)1,2 phenylenediamine(1)、N,N′ bis(furaldehyde) ethylenediamine(2),N,N′ bis(furaldehyde)1,2 diaminopropane(3),N,N′ bis(furaldehyde)1,3 diamino propane(4), and N,N′ bis(furaldehyde) diethylenetriamin(5) were used as catalysts in styrene epoxidation.The influences of different ligand,pH,axial ligand and reaction tiom on reactions were discussed.
