Abstract
A theoretical model has been set up for treating competitive hydrogenations of pairs of substrates on combined two-catalyst systems, assuming that the catalysts act in an independent manner. The hydrogenation rate constants of the two substrates and their relative adsorptitives established on the individual catalysts are used for the calculations. the model has been tested on the substrate system of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol and 2-phenylpropene, hydrogenated in methanol or cyclohexane on combined Pt/C, Pd/C, and Rh/C catalyst systems. The calculated and observed data are in a good agreement.
