Introduction

PTA

Conclusion

The results show that The conversion rate of 4-CBA nearly reaches 100% under
reaction temperature of 278 C, H2 partial pressure of 0.5 MPa and reaction time
of 1 h. The catalyst remains nearly stable after five consecutive hydropurification
tests. The concentration of ternary surfactants (Brij 35-Tween 80-CTAB) at 0.67 g/L
provides the highest catalyst performance.
