RESUMO

The partial hydrogenation of the benzene is a chemical reaction of great scientific and industrial interest, since the produzed cyclohexeno can be used in the attainment of diverse products, in reason of its highly reactive double bond. The present work has as main objective to study the effect of chlorine in Ru/CeO2 catalysts, destined to the partial hydrogenation of the benzene. With intention to verify the influence of the nature of the support, Ru/Al2O3 catalysts have been also studied, as reference, since that alumina is a not reducible support. For such, catalysts with a mass metal fraction of about 5 % were prepared by the wet impregnation technique. After the addition of the chloride precursor RuCl3xH2O to the support, the catalysts were submitted to consecutive thermal treatments of direct reduction at 573K. The gotten solids have been characterized by N2 adsorption (method B.E.T.), electronic scanning microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (MEV+EDX), X-ray photolectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) techniques. The performance of the catalysts have been evaluated in the reactions of benzene hydrogenation and cyclohexeno hydrogenation, using a Parr reactor of the type "slurry". The reaction has been carried out at 5 Mpa constant hydrogen pressure and 373K temperature, in a three-phase reacional system with water. In some catalysts tests, aqueous solutions of TiCl3, NaCl, ZnCl2 or HCl have been added to the reacional system. The results of the characterization show that the chlorine, from the chloride precursor, is practically not eliminated of the Ru/CeO2 catalyst, after the successive treatments of reduction. In the benzene hydrogenation reaction, the Ru/CeO2 catalyst, reduced two consecutive times, presents the biggest yields of cyclohexeno, as in the absence, as in the presence of TiCl3 in the reacional system. Among additives used in the reacional system, the TiCl3 leads to the biggest yields of cicloexeno
