摘要
The activities of nickel supported on MCM-41 catalysts, prepared by co-impregnation with polyols (ethylene glycol, glycerol, xylitol, sorbitol and glucose), were investigated by hydrogenation of naphthalene. Compared with the conventional wetness impregnation, addition of moderate polyols into the metal nitrate support surface, resulting in formation of persion of the active phase and significant aqueous solution could enhance interaction with very small NiO particle size (〈5 nm), high discatalytic activity. Particle size of Ni^0 decreased from 36.1 nm to below 5 nm; meanwhile the complete hydrogenation of naphthalene was dependent on the Ni^0 particle size. The hydrogenation activities of the catalysts prepared by co-impregnation with polyols were very high with 100% conversion even at iow temperature of 55 ℃.
