Hydrogenation of 1-methoxy-2,4-(nitrophenyl)-ethane (MNPE) to 1-methoxy-2,4-(aminophenyl)-ethane (MAPE) over Pd/C catalyst was studied in a three-phase stirred slurry reactor. The reaction was performed in a kinetic region (no internal and external mass transfer resistances) at temperatures ranging from 293 to 320 K, hydrogen pressure 200 kPa using powdered pellets of 1-4% Pd on carbon support. The rates have been correlated with power law and Hougen-Watson kinetic models. The rate expression which best fit the data is r(B) = k(1CACB)/1 + K-BCB, which postulates a reaction between adsorbed MNPE (marked by B) and hydrogen (marked by PI).
