Preparation of a Pt/Active Carbon Fiber Catalyst and Its Application in the Synthesis of -Chloroaniline with Catalytic Hydrogenation.

In this study, a Pt loaded active carbon fiber (Pt/ACF) catalyst was prepared by immobilizing Pt nanoparticles on ACF. The catalyst accelerated hydrogenation of -chloronitrobenzene (-CNB) to -chloroaniline (-CA) at lower temperature and atmospheric pressure, resulting in approximately 100% yield and selectivity. Several factors that affect -CA yield were investigated.
