At present, NVP yield is only about 30% on commercial ZrO2 catalyst. A coupled precipitation and solid dispersion technique was designed to prepare the nano-ZrO2 catalyst, in which rare earth metal oxides （REOx） was used as electronic promoter. The results indicated that the catalyst doped REOx （S-1.0） exhibits the optimum performance of NHP dehydration at moderate conditions. NHP conversion and NVP selectivity are respectively 97.0%, 82.3%. Of special interest is that the indexes of the catalyst （S-1.0-1.0） are up to 98.4% and 89.2% respectively. Furthermore, this catalyst bears the good stability. It means that nano-ZrO2 doped REOx catalyst might be a potential commercial catalyst for the NHP dehydration.展开更多
