Abstract A 0.33 wt% Pd/BN catalyst has been proved highly active for the liquid-phase
selective hydrogenation of maleic anhydride (MA) to succinic anhydride (SA) at room …

The characteristics and catalytic properties of Ni (5 wt%)/diatomite, Ni (5 wt%)/γ-Al 2 O 3, Ni
(5% wt)/Bentonite clay and Ni (5 wt%)/attapulgite clay were investigated and compared in …

The gas-phase hydrogenation of maleic anhydride over Ni catalysts supported on SiO 2 and
SiO 2–Al 2 O 3, prepared by incipient wetness impregnation (I) and constant-pH …

PtNi bimetallic and Ni monometallic catalysts supported on HY–Al 2 O 3, HX–Al 2 O 3, ZSM-
