Synthesis of p-aminophenol by transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene with formic acid as a hydrogen source Pt/C and SO42−/ZrO2 were mechanically mixed as the catalysts for p-aminophenol synthesis by catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in water with formic acid as the hydrogen source. The effect of Pt loading and the solid acid on the reaction was investigated. PAP selectivity reached a maximum at a loading of 1 wt%.
