“…Hydrogenation of NL is well studied in gas-phase and liquid-phase processes [5,6,9,[12][13][14].A few studies have reported data on the hydrogenation of aromatics in SC CO2 [15,16]but, to date, there are no reports on TL catalytic synthesis in SC solvent (i.e., hexane) conditions. The best catalytic systems of NL hydrogenation are based on nanoparticles (NPs) of platinum, palladium, nickel and their combinations with other metals supported on coal, alumina, zinc oxide, and zeolites [6,[9][10][11]14,[16][17][18][19][20][21] allowing integral selectivity with respect to TL in the range of 94-99% at high NL conversions, or transforming TL to DLs under more stringent conditions. Typically, the activity of platinum-containing catalysts to produce TL is in the temperature range of 200-300 °C and pressures of 4-6 MPa.…”
