CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION OF THYMOL OVER Pd/MgO PREPARED BY SMAD METHOD

In this work are summarized the results obtained in the thymol hydrogenation using Pd/MgO catalyst. The catalyst was prepared from a colloidal dispersion of Pd in 2-propanol using the SMAD ( Solvent Metal Atom Dispersion) methodology. The catalyst was characterized by means of Transmission Electron...
