Abstract
Hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone in aqueous phase, under mild conditions, has been carried out using palladium on different supports such as hydroxyapatite (HA), carbon (C), alumina (γ-Al2O3) and Al2O3-CWE synthesized with high surface area. High activity (100%) and selectivity (98%) to cyclohexanone was obtained using Pd/ Al2O3-CWE catalyst in 50 min under mild reaction conditions.
