Received: 7 January 2020; Accepted: 11 February 2020; Published: 14 February 2020 Abstract: Transfer hydrogenation is a novel and efficient method to realize the hydrogenation in different chemical reactions and exploring a simple heterogeneous catalyst with high activity is crucial. Ni/CNT was synthesized through a traditional impregnation method, and the detailed physicochemical properties were performed by means of XRD, TEM, XPS, BET, and ICP analysis. Through the screening of loading amounts, solvents, reaction temperature, and reaction time, 20% Ni/CNT achieves an almost complete conversion of phenol after 60 min at 220 ◦C in the absence of external hydrogen. Furthermore, the catalytic system is carried out on a variety of phenol derivatives for the generation of corresponding cyclohexanols with good to excellent results.

  • Photooxidation of Cyclohexane by Visible and Near-UV Light Catalyzed by Tetraethylammonium Tetrachloroferrate

The photoproducts, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, initially develop at constant rates, implying that the ketone and the alcohol are both primary products. The yield is improved by the inclusion of 1% acetic acid in the cyclohexane. With small amounts of catalyst, the reaction rate increases with the amount of catalyst employed, but then passes through a maximum and decreases, due to increased reflection of the incident light. The reaction rate also passes through a maximum as the percentage of dioxygen above the sample is increased. This behavior is due to quenching by oxygen, which at the same time is a reactant. Under one set of reaction conditions, the photonic efficiency at 365 nm was 0.018 mol/Einstein. Compared to TiO2 as a catalyst, Et4N[FeCl4] generates lower yields at wavelengths below about 380 nm, but higher yields at longer wavelengths. Selectivity for cyclohexanol is considerably greater with Et4N[FeCl4], and oxidation does not proceed past cyclohexanone.

  • Phenol Hydrogenation Over Pd/Zro2 Using Ethanol As Hydrogen Source
    4th International Conference on Sensors, Measurement and Intelligent Materials (ICSMIM 2015) Phenol hydrogenation over Pd/ZrO2 using ethanol as hydrogen source Yunjie Shi1, a, Bin Wang1,b, Junjun Shen1,c and Rongrong Miao1,d* 1Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], d*[email protected] Keywords: Ethanol, Phenol, Hydrogenation, Pd/ZrO2 Abstract. Phenol hydrogenation over the Pd/ZrO2 catalyst has been carried out using ethanol as hydrogen source. The reaction temperature, catalyst and ethanol quantity are found to be influencing factors for effective phenol conversion. In all cases, low quantity (5%~10%) of ethanol and high temperature is efficient for a high phenol conversion. The results show that low quantity (5%~10%) of ethanol is efficient for high cyclohexanone selectivity at low temperature (573K). However, the selectivity of cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and cyclohexane are insensitive to the ethanol quantity at high temperature (653K). It seems that ethanol plays an important dual role: as hydrogen source and as additive to control the phenol conversion and products selectivity. Introduction Cyclohexanone is the key raw material for the preparation of nylon 6 and adipic acid for nylon 66 [1,2]. The industrial production of cyclohexanone commonly involves the selective catalytic hydrogenation of phenol. On the other hand, phenol is an established environmental toxin and phenol-based waste originates form a variety of industrial sources including oil refineries, petrochemical units, polymeric resin manufacturing and plastic units [7]. Therefore, catalytic hydrogenation of phenol for cyclohexanone is an important chemical process, and has been widely studied [3-10].
