β¦ Synopsis
Ni/A120 3 catalysts have been prepared by the co-precipitation method and have been studied for acetone hydrogenation at atmospheric pressure in the temperature region 373-473 K. Effects of metal content, reaction temperature and flow rate of the feed on the conversion and product selectivity are reported. It is possible to selectively synthesize methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) or 2-propanol by varying experimental conditions. More than 95% selectivity towards MIBK is reported on 10 wt.-% Ni/A120 3 catalyst at 373 K and at 1 atmosphere.
