Synthesis and Study of a Copper-Containing Nanostructured Catalyst for Dehydrogenation of Cyclohexanol into Cyclohexanone

Аннотация

The influence exerted by the synthesis conditions and composition of a copper-containing nanostructured catalyst for cyclohexanol dehydrogenation on its textural characteristics, activity, and thermal stability was studied. The content of copper in the hydroxocarbonate form and the textural characteristics of the catalyst increase with increasing temperature of the precursor deposition onto the support. The presence of aluminum oxide in the system enhances the thermal stability of the catalyst. High activity, selectivity, and thermal stability of the catalyst obtained allow recommending it for commercial production as an alternative to the imported catalyst.
