Abstract

The activity of supported nickel catalysts (5–20% Ni) in the hydrogenation of p-dinitrobenzene to p-phenylenediamine was investigated. The catalysts were obtained by ureainduced precipitation. Activated carbon, alumina, titania, and silica gel were evaluated as supports. The most active catalysts, 5%Ni/TiO2 and 20%Ni/SiO2, provided 50–54% yields of p-phenylenediamine at complete dinitrobenzene conversion.
