The effect of active substrate on the process of liquid-phase reduction of para-nitrotoluene (P-NT) on a highly porous cellular palladium catalyst (HPCPC) is studied. The rate of the reducing reaction for 50% transformation of the initial nitric compound in the temperature range of 52 -58°C is determined for the HPCPC using various oxides and their sulfatized forms as active substrate. It is shown that the highest velocity of P-NT hydration is reached using the HPCPC with an active substrate made of sulfatized ZrO 2 and g-Al 2 O 3 . The constants of reducing P-NT and the load of the nitric compound on the catalyst are calculated; the highest values are found in the HPCPC with a sulfatized ZrO 2 substrate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
