Reversible hydrogenation—dehydrogenation reactions of meta-terphenyl on catalysts with various supports

For developing new composite systems (substrate—catalyst) for hydrogen storage, the activities of Pt and Pd catalysts on various supports were compared in reversible meta-terphenyl hydrogenation and perhydro-meta-terphenyl dehydrogenation. The microstructure of the catalysts was studied. Carbon-supported catalysts are more efficient in both reversible reactions than alumina-supported systems.

Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of hydrogen release during the heterogeneous catalytic dehydrogenation of cis- and trans-isomers of perhydro-m-terphenyl

Comparative studies on the temperature dependence of the dehydrogenation of cis- and trans-isomers of perhydro-m-terphenyl are performed in a flow catalytic reactor. Rate constants and equilibrium constants of all elementary acts of this reaction are calculated on basis of experimental data using the KINET 0.8 program for the mathematical modeling of the kinetics of complex reactions. The resulting data indicate that perhydro-m-terphenyl cis- and trans-isomers structural differences have no appreciable effect on dehydrogenation.
