ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for testing the activity of a catalyst for a chemical reaction in which naphthalene is reversibly hydrogenated by gaseous hydrogen into tetralin, which avoids the need to pressurize a test vessel with hydrogen, enables simple apparatus to be used and gives good accuracy. Tetralin and catalyst are introduced into a sealed container, the container is heated to a reaction temperature for a predetermined time, and the amount of naphthalene formed by dehydrogenation is determined. The method is applicable to the measurement of catalyst activity for catalysts used in the production by hydrogenation of coal-derived liquids.
