The effect of thermal pretreatment on the active sites and catalytic performances of PtSn/SiO2 catalyst in acetic acid （AcOH） hydrogenation was investigated in this article. The catalysts were characterized by N2 physical adsorption, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, pyridine Fourier-transform infrared spectra, and H2-O2 titration on its physicochemical properties. The results showed that Pt species were formed primarily in crystalline structure and no PtSnx alloy was observed. Meanwhile, with the increment of thermal pretreatrnent temperature, Pt dispersion showed a decreas- ing trend due to the aggregation of Pt particles. Simultaneously, the amount of Lewis acid sites was remarkably influenced by such thermal pretreatment owning to the consequent physicochemical property variation of Sn species. Interestingly, the catalytic activity showed the similar variation trend with that of Lewis acid sites, confirming the important roles of Lewis acid sites in AcOH hydrogenation. Moreover, a balancing effect between exposed Pt and Lewis acid sites was obtained, resulting in the superior catalytic performance in AcOH hydrogenation.

RuPt/AC bimetallic catalysts were pre pared by two-step incipient impregnation method and evaluated in the hydrogenation of phthalates.According to the characterization results,well dispersed Ru Pt bimetallic nanoparticles were formed on the catalyst,and the strong interaction between the two metals resulted in the formation of RuPt alloy.It was found that Ru can donate electrons to Pt on RuPt alloy nanoparticles,leading to the formation of electron-deficient Ru which significantly promotes the hydrogenation rate of dioctyl phthalate and improves the selectivity of dioctyl di-2-ethylhexylcyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate by accelerating the further hydrogenation of intermediate products.The bimetallic RuPt catalyst also presented excellent stability and versatility in the hydrogenation of phthalates,demonstrating its prospective future in the hydrogenation of aromatic ring contained compounds.
