Abstract
THE efficiency of several promoters in increasing the catalytic activity of molybdenum oxide (used in the hydrogenation of phenol to benzene) is given by F. E. T. Kingman and Prof. Eric K. Rideal. The presence of phosphorus, nickel, chromium or silicon compounds enhances the activity, whilst tin and thorium compounds depress it. The authors state that they have also determined the surface area of the catalysts investigated.
