The objective of this study is to evaluate the catalytic performance of pellet-type Ru/γ-Al2O3 as a catalyst during liquid-phase hydrogenation of the aromatic hydrocarbon. The Ru/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was prepared using a wet impregnation method. After adding a binder to Ru/γ-Al2O3, a pellet-type catalyst was obtained through an extrusion method. Nanoporous structures are well developed in the pellet-type Ru/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The average pore sizes of the Ru/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were approximately 10 nm. The catalytic performance of the pellet-type Ru/γ-Al2O3 catalyst during ethylbenzene hydrogenation was evaluated in a trickle-bed reactor. When the ruthenium loading increased from 1 to 5 wt%, the number of active sites effective for the hydrogenation of ethylbenzene increased proportionally. In order to maximize the conversion of ethylbenzene to ethylcyclohexane, it was necessary to maintain a liquid phase hydrogenation reaction in the trickle bed reactor. In this regards, the reaction temperature should be lower than 90 °C. The conversion of ethylbenzene to ethylcyclohexane on the Ru(5 wt%)/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was highest, which is ascribed to the largest number of active sites of the catalyst.

Catalytic activity of CuO-supported catalyst in phenol oxidation, and the influence of reaction conditions, viz. temperature (125-170 °C), oxygen partial pressure (1-7 MPa) and liquid feed (30-760 ml h-1), in the continuous operation using 17.9 mm i.d. trickle-bed reactor is presented. The hydrodynamic impact on the three-phase trickle-bed reactor performance in an environmental application of catalytic wet oxidation was also investigated. The results of trickle-bed operation were strongly influenced by wetting efficiency. An insufficient catalyst wetting can be to compensated by filling the catalyst bed voids by fine glass spheres. In the case of the gas transfer limited reaction, a better wetting of the catalyst can lead to worse reactor performance due to lower reaction rates.
