Kinetics of the liquid-phase hydrogenation of a multiple carbon bond is studied in an aqueous medium on supported nickel catalysts at different hydrogen pressures in the system under conditions of partly controlled deactivation of the active surface sites with sulfide ions. The pattern of deactivation of the active surface sites of Ni/SiO 2 catalysts containing different amounts of the active metal on the surface with sulfide ions in water is determined. The resistance of the studied catalysts to deactivation during the reduction of diethyl maleate (DM) and propen-2-ol-1 is determined experimentally. It is shown that the catalyst is more resistant to deactivation during the hydrogenation of propen-2-ol-1; this finding is attributed to the steric factor. It is found that the hydrogen pressure in the system does not affect the deactivation pattern. Excessive pressure slightly alters the deactivation resistance of the catalyst during the hydrogenation of propen-2-ol-1. It is shown experimentally that the catalytic properties of nickel in liquid-phase hydrogenation reactions can be controlled by introducing small amounts of a catalytic poison into the system at high hydrogen pressures.
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.
