Usage

General Description

(2-methylcyclopentyl)cyclohexane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C11H20. It is a saturated hydrocarbon that belongs to the family of cycloalkanes, which are cyclic hydrocarbons with single bonds. (2-methylcyclopentyl)cyclohexane is made up of a cyclohexane ring and a methylcyclopentane ring connected to each other. (2-methylcyclopentyl)cyclohexane is commonly used as a solvent in various industrial and chemical processes due to its low reactivity and ability to dissolve a wide range of substances. It is also used as a raw material in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and other organic compounds. Additionally, it has potential applications in the field of organic synthesis and material science due to its unique structure and properties.

Carbazole hydrodenitrogenation over nickel phosphide and Ni-rich bimetallic phosphide catalysts

Silica-supported nickel phosphide (Ni2P) and Ni-rich bimetallic phosphide catalysts were investigated for the hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of carbazole with and without a benzothiophene co-feed. The Ni2P/ SiO2, Co0.1Ni1.9P/SiO2, and Fe 0.03Ni1.97P/SiO2 catalysts exhibited high carbazole HDN activities and out-performed a commercial sulfided Ni-Mo/Al 2O3 catalyst under the testing conditions employed. Co-feeding of benzothiophene inhibited carbazole HDN over the metal phosphides, but the Ni2P/SiO2 and Ni-rich bimetallic phosphide catalysts maintained higher activities than the sulfided Ni-Mo/Al 2O3 catalyst. The product selectivities of the metal phosphide and sulfide catalysts were similar, except that the sulfided Ni-Mo/Al2O3 catalyst yielded more hydrogenated carbazoles while the metal phosphide catalysts produced more of the partially hydrogenated hydrocarbon cyclohexylbenzene. The metal phosphide catalysts favored ring-opened (hexylcyclohexane) and ring-contracted ((2-methylcyclopentyl)cyclohexane) products, indicating the presence of metal and Br?nsted acid sites on the catalyst surfaces. The Ni2P/SiO2 and bimetallic phosphide catalysts exhibited excellent stabilities in the HDN conditions employed (carbazole-only and mixed feeds), as indicated by phase purity, average crystallite size and resistance to sulfur incorporation of the supported metal phosphide particles.
