EFFICIENT EVOLUTION OF HYDROGEN FROM TETRALIN UPONTRANSITION-METAL CATALYST SUPPORTED ON ACTIVATED CARBON FIBER

摘要

Catalytic hydrogen evolution from neat tetralin under liquid-phase conditions was investigated.Among examined commercial Pd-,Pt-,and Rh-catalysts supported on activated carbon oralumina,Pd/C showed the highest activity.It was also found that Pd-catalysts supported onactivated carbon fibers,which were prepared by a usual impregnation method,showed roughlythree times higher activity than that of the commercial Pd/C.
