Abstract
The activity of nickel-magnesium oxide mixed catalyst in liquid phase hydrogenation was investigated in dependence on the composition of the solid phase and on the preparation procedure. The isotope effect of substitution of light water by heavy water, the kinetic dependences, and the sorbed amount of the reacting maleic acid were examined with a view to deducing the reaction mechanism.
