Abstract

The catalytic activities of a range of hydrogen reduced nickel Y zeolites for the hydrogenation of toluene were measured and correlated with the following catalytic parameters: reaction temperature; reaction time; coke deposition. The role of the alkali metal co-cation (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+ or Cs+) in influencing the overall hydrogenation activity of the supported nickel metal was probed. The effect of poisoning the surface Bronsted acidity by the adsorption of ammonia is discussed. For comparative purposes, data on the hydrogenation of benzene over the same catalysts are included.
