Maltose hydrogenation over ruthenium nanoparticles impregnated in hypercrosslinked polystyrene

The kinetics of maltose hydrogenation using Ru-containing nanoparticles (NPs) formed in the pores of hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HPS) was studied in this work at 110-140 °C and 2-7 MPa. The concept of two sites and non-competitive adsorption of hydrogen and maltose was used due to large differences in the sizes of molecules. The proposed model was able to describe experimental data with sufficient accuracy.
