Hydrogenation tests

Hydrogenation tests were carried out using an autoclave reactor (ICI, Wilton, UK) in the case of propanenitrile and a flow reactor operating at atmospheric pressure for ethanenitrile. 

As mentioned in Section 3.2, hydrogenation is by far the most investigated catalytic reaction and palladium the most commonly employed metal, followed by platinum. The most common substrates for catalytic hydrogenation tests are simple alkenes, cyclic alkenes and unsaturated carbonylic compounds. In the latter case, conjugated substrates (a,P-unsaturated aldehydes, acrylic acid) have received particular attention.

In addition to P,N ligands, the carbenoid-oxazoline catalysts 47 (Fig. 30.10) were used to hydrogenate test substrates 36-39, as well as substrates 48 and 49, which were hydrogenated in 93% ee and 84% ee, respectively [21]. These catalysts were also used to hydrogenate 1,1-disubstituted alkenes (see Section 30.2.1).

The focus of these studies has been on identifying mild activation conditions to prevent nanoparticle agglomeration. Infrared spectroscopy indicated that titania plays an active role in dendrimer adsorption and decomposition in contrast, adsorption of DENs on silica is dominated by metal-support interactions. Relatively mild (150° C) activation conditions were identified and optimized for Pt and Au catalysts. Comparable conditions yield clean nanoparticles that are active CO oxidation catalysts. Supported Pt catalysts are also active in toluene hydrogenation test reactions. 

Hydrogenation tests made on the 600°-1000°F heavy gas oil from in situ crude shale oil showed that a nickel-molybdenum-on-ahimina catalyst was superior to either cobalt-molybdenum-on-alumina or nickel-tungsten-on-alumina catalysts for removing nitrpgen from shale oil fractions. This nickel-molybdenum-on-alumina catalyst was used in the preparation of the synthetic crude oil. A high yield of premium refinery feedstock whose properties compared favorably with those of a syncrude described by the NPC was attained by hydrogenating the naphtha, light... 

The toluene hydrogenation test was followed by a thiophene hydrodesulfurization test performed at 6 MPa, 220°C, LHSV = 2 h H2/HC = 300N1/1, The liquid feed was composed of dimethyl-disulfide (lwt %), thiophene (2 wt %) and n-heptane (97 wt %),...

Indirect hydrogenation using tetralin at a reaction temperature of 410 C, a pressure of 400 bar and an overall reaction time of 2 h produced carbon conversion rates from 50 to 79 (%wt) and liquid product yields from 43 to 69 ( wt). Of the multitude of correlations established between the results of the hydrogenation tests and the micropetrographical composition of the coal types only a few examples are given.

The literature of biphasic hydrogenations contains plenty of substrates (al-kenes and cycloalkenes, arylaliphatic olefins, carbonyl compounds, etc.), mainly with TPPMS as water-soluble ligand (solubility approx. 200 g/1 [150] as compared with 1100 g/1 with TPPTS [37]). So far, no industrial process has been derived from these smdies. Besides the development of the basics of biphasic operation, the research concentrates on fundamental work concerning the question of where the reaction takes place phase boundary, organic phase, or aqueous phase. Wilkinson [29] concluded from his hydrogenation tests with hexenes or cyclohexenes in the presence of TPPMS that the somewhat lower rate of hydrogenation as compared with monophasic conversion should be due to the necessary diffusion of the hydrogen to the alkene/water interface. In this way the iso-... 

Variations in gastric emptying rate and small bowel transit times are problems that limit the diagnostic accuracy of the breath hydrogen tests. In the face of an appropriate clinical picture and a negative breath hydrogen test, an alternative diagnostic approach is a therapeutic trial of appropriate antibiotics. ...

The catalysts CoMo-A and CoMo-B have been prepared in the lab with a conventional CoMo loading i.e. 3wt% and 14wt% respectively in CoO and M0O3 and tested in toluene hydrogenation test. The relative toluene hydrogenation activity for the CoMo-B catalyst is 150% of the value obtained for the CoMo-A catalyst (Table 2). Thus, the proprietary support provides a 50% gain in hydrogenating activity. This could be due either to an increase of the number of active sites or an increase in the specific activity of each site or both.
