(2008). Hydrogenation of citral over Pt and Pt-Sn catalysts. Turkish Journal of Chemistry, 32(6), 653-662.1300-05271303-6130http://hdl.handle.net/11147/2351https://search.trdizin.gov.tr/yayin/detay/83037Hydrogenation of citral on monometallic (Pt) and bimetallic (Pt-Sn) catalysts was investigated. It was found that the catalyst activities and product distributions were different over Na-Y and Clino supports. Among monometallic catalysts, Pt/Na-Y was more selective to citronellol (3.9%) and unsaturated alcohols, geraniol and nerol, (14.1%). Sn addition increased the catalyst activities. However, its effect on product distribution differed. Yield of geraniol+nerol changed from 5.1% to 19.7% over Clino. However, selectivity to unsaturated alcohols over Na-Y decreased when it was prepared as a bimetallic catalyst support. Unsaturated alcohol formation was favored when there was a metal support interaction over monometallic catalysts, and metal-promoter interaction over bimetallic catalyst.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCitralCitronellalHydrogenationUnsaturated alcoholsZeolite catalystsArticle2-s2.0-59449105520
