Use of Ni/Al-MCM-41 catalysts for the exhaustive hydrodechlorination of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene
Several Ni/Al-MCM-41 catalysts were tested in the gas phase hydrodechlorination of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene at atmospheric pressure. They showed high activity and selectivity towards benzene at reaction temperatures between 473 and 523 K with values of 100% conversion and 100% benzene selectivity at 523 K for all of them.
