Hydrogenation of Acetophenone at Room Temperature and Atmospheric Pressure over Pt-Containing Catalysts Supported on Reducible Oxides

Complete conversion of acetophenone is achieved over 1% Pt/CеО2–ZrО2 catalyst in 2 h at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Catalysts supported on the synthesized cerium–zirconium carriers show abnormally high hydrogen absorption in the temperature range of −50 to +25°С, and significantly exceed the activity of commercial samples in acetophenone hydrogenation.
