Abstract

A Pt-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) catalyst was synthesized via chemical reduction of platinum ions with hydrazine hydrate in a PVP/n-butanol/H2PtCl6 aqueous solution. Its catalytic activity was evaluated by the liquid-phase hydrogenation of m-chloronitrobenzene (m-CNB) to m-chloroaniline (m-CAN) under mild conditions (T = 303 K, p = 0.1 MPa). The as prepared catalyst exhibited higher activity and selectivity than prepared via conventional ethanol reduction with the same platinum load. The catalytic performance of PVP-Pt catalyst was remarkably improved by addition of 0.2 wt % Sn4+. The modification mechanism may be related with the interaction of Sn4+ with nitro group of m-CNB and -NH2 in m-CAN.
