absence of the bottled pores encountered with traditional solid carriers such as alumina, silica
or activated charcoal.
This as-synthesized CNF composite was subsequently tested as catalyst support in
several reactions like: the decomposition of hydrazine, the Super-Claus reaction, C=C
selective hydrogenation, or even itself as a catalyst in the depollution of contaminated water
by organics. The catalytic performance of CNF composites is largely superior to that obtained
on the state-of-the-art traditional catalysts and the details will be presented in the extended
presentation, along with the results obtained on the liquid phase dehydrogenation.
