Abstract
A novel and promising process for synthesizing cyclohexanone, a precursor of polyamide synthesis, via the comproportionation of phenol and cyclohexanol has been investigated. This process was studied within the temperature range of 200–300 °C with the initial substances being used in stoichiometric ratio. The Ni/Al2O3 catalysts, which were prepared using the deposition–precipitation method and characterized by ICP–AES, XRD (including in situ investigation), N2 adsorption–desorption, H2-TPR, CO pulse adsorption, and FTIR spectroscopy, were employed in this study. The present study established a correlation between conversions of phenol and cyclohexanol into cyclohexanone over Ni/Al2O3 catalysts and the accessible Ni0 surface area. Furthermore, kinetic analysis of the experimental data has demonstrated that the suggested Ni-based catalysts exhibit high activity in the explored process.
期刊介绍:
The exploration of energy sources remains a critical matter of study. For the past nine decades, fuel has consistently held the forefront in primary research efforts within the field of energy science. This area of investigation encompasses a wide range of subjects, with a particular emphasis on emerging concerns like environmental factors and pollution.
