✦ Synopsis


The poisoning of PdÈcarbon (4É1% Pd) catalysts by thiophene, dichloroethane, mercuric chloride and lead, zinc and mercuric acetates at di †erent concentrations (0È5000 g m~3) in the liquid phase hydrogenation of onitrophenol to o-aminophenol (at 308 K and pressure of 1508 kPa) in a H 2 three-phase stirred slurry reactor has been investigated. The hydrogenation activity of the catalyst is drastically reduced due to the presence of these poisons in the reaction mixture, even at a very low concentration of poison (20 g m~3). Among the poisons, mercuric acetate was found to be the most potent. 1998
