Abstract
Thermal pretreatment of an amorphous Cu70Zr30 alloy in a hydrogen atmosphere results in a catalyst which contains small copper particles embedded in a zirconium oxide matrix and exhibits an activity which is about an order of magnitude higher for selective hydrogenation of buta-1,3-diene to butenes than polycrystalline copper.Keywords
