metal -modified palladium / nickel catalyst

摘要

The present invention is an alcohol using an improved catalyst composition and a catalyst suitable for use in the hydrogenation process relates to an improved hydrogenation process for hydrogenation of organic compounds as in amination of an amine or a nitro group . More specifically, the catalyst composition is improved in the nickel catalyst is promoted by palladium supported on a support . The improved catalyst composition typically is characterized to include the promotion of the selected metal M and / or its oxide from about 0.01% by weight to 10 % Zn, Cd, Cu and Ag of the support.
