New and Simple Strategy for Dechlorination of Nitrochlorobenzene over Ni/La-Al_2O_3 Nanocatalyst

In this study simple catalytic test experiment was performed in a flask of rotary evaporator for dechlorination of nitrochlorobenzene (ncb) over two samples of ni/laal_2o_3 nanocatalysts (c1 and c2). in the reaction, ni acts as a catalyst to collect hydrogen gas in aqueous solution and dissociate it to produce active hydrogen atoms for replacing the chlorine. the catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (sem), x-ray fluorescence (xrf), x-ray diffraction (xrd), bet specific surface area, and particle size analysis (psa) techniques. the ni/la-al_2o_3 catalyst prepared by aluminium nitrate exhibits greater specific surface area and higher dechlorination efficiency compared to sample prepared through aluminium triisopropoxide precursor.
