HYDROGENATION CATALYSTS ON THE BASE OF PALLADIUM CONTAINING NANODIAMONDS

Catalytic activity of palladium containing nanodiamonds in hydrogenation of a series of nitroaranes and unsaturated organic compounds has been studied. The catalysts with low palladium mass content are the most effective in liquid phase hydrogenation. It is shown that palladium catalyst on the base of nanodiamonds is more active in hydrogenation reactions than an ordinary catalyst on the base of the activated carbon and is more sensitive to the substrate nature.
