A non-noble metal nanoparticle catalyst for rosin disproportionation was develo
ped using nanote
chnology. Process condition for rosin disproportionation over the catalyst was i
nvestigated.The results indicated that N/L-T catalyst prepared by sol-gel-pre
cip
itation, followed by calcinations for 2.5 h at 500 ℃ and reduction for 3 h at
3
00 ℃, had higher activity. Optimum condition for rosin disproportionation was
obtained as follows: reaction temperature 270 ℃, reaction time 3 h and cat
alyst dosage 2.5%.
