Preparation and characterization of Ni/mZSM-5 zeolite with a hierarchical pore structure by using KIT-6 as silica template: an efficient bi-functional catalyst for the reduction of nitro aromatic compounds

Abstract

Ni/mZSM-5 hierarchical zeolite and the acidic form of it were prepared as novel bi-functional catalysts which showed excellent activity for reduction of nitro aromatic compounds in aqueous medium at room temperature.
