Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>An eggshell Mo₂C catalyst which is designed from the rapid combination of molybdate with melamine is described. In contrast to Pd‐based catalysts, the eggshell Mo₂C operates effectively with a wide‐concentration window in high‐temperature gas phase hydrogenation of phenylacetylene, thus, an economical and energy‐efficient front‐end purification of styrene monomers might be possible. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers <italic>AIChE J</italic>, 61: 2522–2531, 2015</p> </abstract>
