Abstract. Mesoporous siliceous SBA-15-supported Cu catalysts have been prepared by different methods and systematically characterized. The results revealed that the incipient wetness impregnation (IWI)method gives poor dispersion of copper species, whereas much better dispersion is found in catalysts prepared by the deposition precipitation (DP), grafting, and homogeneous deposition precipi…
Abstract Ce-promoted Ru/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared by a ‘‘two solvents’’ impregnation method. In liquidphase hydrogenation of benzene, the Ce-promoted Ru/SBA-15 catalysts exhibited superior catalytic performance to the un-promoted catalyst. The optimum bulk Ce/Ru molar ratio was determined to be 0.25, at which a cyclohexene yield of 53.8% was obtained. Based on characterizations…
