Abstract

Results of the development of multicomponent oxide catalysts based on Ni, Cu, and Cr supported on 2 % Ce/?-Al2O3 by varying the concentration of the active phase of catalyst are presented in paper. It was found that the highest degree of toluene conversion (up to 98.8 %) is observed on the three- component Ni-Cu-Cr/2% Ce/?-Al2O3 catalyst with optimal metal ratio Ni : Cu : Cr = 1.0 : 3.0 : 0.1 at GHSV = 5×103 h-1 and a temperature of 723 - 773 K. The presence of CeO2 crystals, X-ray amorphous clusters (d = 20 – 100 A) of variable valence metal oxides NiO and CuO as well as solid metal solutions CuO (NiO) was detected on the surface of optimum catalyst calcined at 873 K using XRD and electron microscopy methods.
