Abstract:NiCoB/TiO2 amorphous alloy catalysts were prepared by the means of the metal inducing electroless plating and these catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM , EDS, ICP and XPS. The results showed that NiCoB was preferably supported on TiO2 in the form of amorphous alloy, which was good dispersibility with an average diameter of 120 nm or so. Their catalytic properties were evaluated for the hydrogenation of turpentine to cis-pinaneand the factors of affecting the reaction were optimized. The conversion of α-pinene was up to 99.23%, the selectivity of cis-pinane was 95.53% and the yield of cis-pinane was 94.80% at 145 °C for 200 min, 4.5 MPa hydrogen pressure and a catalyst of 10%.
