Abstract

On Pd/γ-Al2O3 toluene undergoes reforming reaction with CO2 to give benzene and syngas at 1 atm and 400–500 °C. Among the promoters cerium oxide shows improved selectivity and activity compared to other rare earth oxides. Based on the catalytic runs and TPR experiments, the mechanism of the reaction is proposed.

Abstract

Реформинг толуола с CO2 на Pd/γ-Al2O3 при давлении 1 атм и температурах 400–500°C приводит к образованию бензола и синтетического газа. Среди различных промотеров окись церия обладает повышенной селективностью и активностью по сравнению с окисями других редкоземельных металлов. На основе каталитических экспериментов и ТПВ предложен механизм реакции.
