Ortho-chloronitrobenzene hydrogenation over carbon supported Rh-Cu catalysts
Keyword(s):
The promotional effect of Cu on the catalytic performance of supported Rh catalysts in the selective hydrogenation of ortho-chloronitrobenzene to ortho-chloroaniline was studied using carbon support. The catalysts were characterised by BET, H2 chemisorption, TEM. Rh surface is partially covered by Cu as a result of interaction between Rh and Cu. The superficial Cu species activate the N=O bond of chloronitrobenzene. Thus, the bimetallic RhCu catalysts exhibited excellent performance, producing chloroaniline with excellent selectivity.
