Abstract
Activated carbon has been widely used as porous support in heterogeneous catalysis. The special pretreatment of carbon support could tune the physical-chemical properties and the catalytic performance of the supported catalyst. The high-temperature chemical pretreatment of carbon support could effectively enhance the activity of carbon supported rhodium catalyst for hydroformylation of mixed octenes. The optimal conditions of pretreatment were studied by the Taguchi method. The results showed that the optimized parameters were 1.0 weight ratio of KOH to carbon, 1063 K treated temperature, 9.0 pH of carbon surface, and 75 min treated time. Under these conditions, the yield of aldehydes for hydroformylation reached up to 50.5%.
