PALLADUIM-BASED CATALYST AND PROCESS FOR SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF CYCLOOCTADIENE TO CYCLOOCTENE

摘要

The invention relates to a palladium-based catalyst and to a process for the selective hydrogenation of 1,5-cyclooctadiene to cyclooctene using said catalyst. According to the invention, the catalyst comprises 0.1...0.95% by weight metal palladium impregnated on active carbon support, as cylindrical granules. The penetration thickness of the catalytic support by the active metal is lower than 0.1 mm. The claimed process is performed on said catalyst, in fixed catalyst bed, in continuous flow, at a temperature of 40...120 degree C and at a pressure of 1...20 at.
