The effects of pore structure on the reaction rates and selectivities in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of 2-ethylanthraquinone over NiB amorphous alloy catalysts prepared by the reductant-impregnation method were studied using regular (HMS, MCM-41, and SBA-15) and commercial mesoporous silicas as supports. The composition, particle size, and location of the NiB particles were profoundly influenced by the pore structure of the ...
