NICKEL MODIFIED CATALYST FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HYDROXY ETHER HYDROCARBONS BY VAPOR PHASE HYDROGENOLYSIS OF CYCLIC ACETALS AND KETALS

摘要

Catalyst compositions of alumina supports containing palladium and nickel are selective in a vapor phase hydrogenolysis reaction to convert cyclic acetal compounds and/or cyclic ketal compounds in the presence of hydrogen to their corresponding hydroxy ether hydrocarbon reaction products.
