摘要:
Maleic acid, maleic anhydride or other hydrogenatable precursor are catalytically hydrogenated to 1,4-butanediol and tetrahydrofuran. It has been discovered that high yields of 1,4-butanediol are achieved when the hydrogenation catalyst comprises palladium, silver and rhenium on a carbon support and is prepared by the steps of (i) impregnating a carbon support with a source of palladium, silver and rhenium, wherein the source of palladium, silver and rhenium is at least one solution, (ii) after each impregnation step, drying the impregnated carbon support to remove solvent, (iii) heating the impregnated carbon support at a temperature of about 120°C to about 350°C under reducing conditions. The palladium in the catalyst is present in the form of crystallites having a particle size of less than 10 nm.

摘要:
Tetrahydrofuran and gamma-butyrolactone are prepared from at least one of maleic anhydride or succinic anhydride by catalytically hydrogenating vaporous maleic anhydride or vaporous succinic anhydride in the presence of hydrogen in contact with a catalyst comprising an essentially inert, at least partially porous support having an outer surface, and a catalytically active oxide material coating onto the outer surface of the support which strongly adheres to the support, wherein the catalytically active oxide material comprises the mixed oxides of copper, zinc and aluminum.

摘要:
An improved catalyst for hydrogenation of maleic acid, maleic anhydride or other hydrogenatable precursor which are catalytically hydrogenated to 1,4-butanediol and tetrahydrofuran has been discovered. The hydrogenation catalyst comprises palladium, silver, rhenium and at lease one of aluminum, cobalt and mixtures thereof, all on a carbon support.
摘要:
A process for the production of 1,4-butanediol comprises catalytically hydrogenating a hydrogenatable precursor therefor in contact with hydrogen-containing gas and a hydrogenation catalyst comprising at least one noble metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table and at least one of rhenium, tungsten and molybdenum deposited on a carbon support, wherein the carbon support has been contacted with an oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, ammonium persulfate and perchloric acid prior to the deposition of the metals. The above oxidized carbon support is also provided.
