HIGH ACTIVITY OF MoO3-SnO2 FOR HYDROCRACKING OF DIPHENYL ETHER AND DIPHENYLMETHANE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1982.1547

Of four newly synthesized catalysts designed for coal liquefaction, MoO3-SnO2 was superior for use with diphenyl ether and diphenylmethane with either H2 or CO + H2O.This agrees with the results of using these catalysts with a sub-bitumenous coal.Carbon monoxide and H2O is superior to H2 for ether cleavage, whereas H2 is better for hydrocarbon cleavage.
