Abstract

Pd/C, Ni/SiO2-Al2O3 and Ru/C were used for hydrogenation of phenol in supercritical alcohol system. The results indicate that Pd/C is an efficient catalyst for hydrogenation of phenol in supercritical alcohol system, over 80% phenol was removed at initial 40 min and cyclohexane, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are main products. Since products such as 2 - ethyl phenol, 4 - ethyl phenol, 2-methyl -5-isopropyl phenol and 1-methoxy-4-isopropyl benzene are produced with Ni/SiO2-Al2O3 and 2 - ethyl phenol and dibutyl phthalate are found with Ru/C, Ni/SiO2-Al2O3 and Ru/C are not effective catalysts for hydrogenation reaction in supercritical alcohol system. Those two catalysts increases the ethylation reaction dramatically, rather than hydrogenation reaction.
