Description
Book SynopsisHeterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation is the process of conducting a chemical reaction with hydrogen utilizing a catalyst that exists in a different physical phase than the reactants. Catalytic hydrogenation reactions are employed in synthetic organic laboratories and industries as a means for reducing or transforming organic compounds.
