Abstract: Cu/SiO2 catalysts modified by Cr2O3 and MoO3 have been characterized with a continuous fixed bed reactor. The influence of Cr2O3 and MoO3 on the surface properties and active site of catalysts has also been studied with TPR, XPS and XRD. The results show that catalytic properties of catalysts modified by Cr and Mo are improved remarkably and Cr2O3 and MoO3 in the catalysts have the property of donating electrons towards Cu particles. Adding proper amounts of Cr, Mo to catalysts can increase the dispersity of Cu particles and the stability of catalysts.

Key words: nitrobenzene, phenylamine, hydrogenation catalyst
