Abstract: | Kinetics of vapor phase hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone over Pd/MgO system has been studied in a flow microreactor under normal atmospheric pressure. The reaction rate is found to be negative order with respect to the partial pressure of phenol and has increased from ?0.5 to 0.5 with increasing temperature (473 to 563 K). The apparent activation energy (Ea) of the process is found to be close to 65 kJ per mol. On the basis of kinetic results a surface mechanism is proposed. |
