These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, H2 temperature programmed reduction （TPR） and thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） techniques. The XRD and TPR studies showed that Ni was present as Ni2＋ on the support, which indicated that there were no elemental nickel （Ni^0） and Ni203 species in the unreduced samples. Increasing of calcination temperature to 650 ℃ leads to destruction of the support structure observed in TGA, while the catalyst sample calcined at 550 ℃ exhibits better performances than other samples. The ideal conversion of maleic anhydride （97.14%） and selectivity of succinic anhydride （99.55%） were realized at a reaction temperature of 180 ℃ and a weight hourly space velocity of 4 h^-1 under a reaction pressure of 1 MPa.展开更多

The as-prepared catalyst was characterized by XRD, TGDTG and N2 adsorption techniques. The characterization tests revealed that the catalyst carrier was composed of monoclinic zirconia(m-ZrO2) and hydroxyl cobalt oxide(CoO(OH)). The hydrogenation results showed that the content of CoO(OH), the reaction temperature, the hydrogen pressure and the reaction time significantly affected the catalytic selectivity to GBL. The promotional effect of CoO(OH) was remarkable, which led to an obvious increase in GBL selectivity. An 100% MA conversion and 92.0% selectivity to GBL were achieved over the Ru/ZrO2-CoO(OH)(35%) catalyst in water solvent under the conditions involving a reaction temperature of 180 ℃, a hydrogen pressure of 3.0 MPa, and a reaction time of 6 h.展开更多
