Technology for The Production of 2-Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol (2-PEA): A Synthetic Rose Aroma by the Hydrogenation of Styrene Oxide
Implementing Organization
Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI)
Project Overview
CSIR-CSMCRI developed a novel hydrogenation catalyst where Pd was loaded on inorganic solid base (2% loading). The catalyst thus developed is simple to make with high physical strength, stable under ambient condition, non-pyrophoric and produces no by-products. The catalyst retained its performance over 100 recycle use in hydrogenation process.
