Abstract
Kinetic studies on the liquid-phase hydrogenation of acetone over Raney nickel catalyst were performed over a wide range of concentration in various solvents. The kinetics in n-hexane, cyclohexane, methyl alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol were found to be successfully interpreted on the scheme where hydrogen, acetone, and solvent are adsorbed competitively on the catalyst surface. A rate equation was derived on the basis of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. The activation energy was determined to be 10.1 kcal/mole. The relation between the apparent activation energy and the “true” one is also discussed.
