Abstract
The hydrogenation of m-cresol was studied across a wide temperature range, revealing complex variations in product distribution and reaction mechanisms. It has been found that the hydrogenation process predominantly yields 3-methylcyclohexanone and 3-methylcyclohexanol as primary products through ring hydrogenation (HYD) within the 140–250 ℃ temperature range. Conversely, the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) products, toluene and methylcyclohexane, remain insignificant. More interestingly, the HYD yield is observed to diminish at elevated temperatures, with HDO becoming more dominant beyond 270 ℃. Further exploration of potential factors influencing the observed reduction in HYD yield at elevated temperatures—namely site deactivation, equilibrium limitations, and variations in surface coverage—revealed that changes in the surface adsorption of m-cresol play a critical role in the observed decrease in HYD activity, rather than site deactivation or equilibrium constraints. The order of 3-methylcyclohexanone formation with respect to m-cresol increases from 0 to 1 across the examined temperature range, suggesting m-cresol adsorption follows a simple Langmuir–Hinshelwood adsorption model where \(r \sim k{K}_{C}{P}_{C}/(1+{K}_{C}{P}_{C})\). This analysis not only advances our understanding of the temperature-dependent behavior in m-cresol hydrogenation but also lays the groundwork for future kinetic modeling, offering deeper insight into the complex dynamics of m-cresol hydrogenation.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
