Abstract

AbstractBenzene selective hydrogenation has very important due to the need to reduce the carcinogenic effects of benzene as a toxic and volatile compound and production of cyclohexane as a green solvent for the production of nylons. Nickel loaded composites were prepared by the wet‐impregnation method. These catalysts were characterized using Fourier‐transform infrared, X‐ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and N2 adsorption‐desorption techniques. The aim of this study is to evaluate the catalytic performance as a function of zeolite nature, reaction temperature and relative pressure of the reactants. The obtained results confirm that the nickel nanoparticles supported on Al‐MCF‐Zeolites hybrids have acceptable performance. Also, the best activity and high selectivity were obtained for Ni/Al−M‐MOR at all temperatures (150‐210 °C) and Ni/Al−M‐13X about 83% at 170 °C.
