    Effect of the cobalt precursors, including [Co(bipy)<inf>3</inf>](NO<inf>3</inf>)<inf>2</inf>, [Co(NH<inf>3</inf>)<inf>5</inf>Cl]Cl<inf>2</inf>, [Co(NH<inf>3</inf>)<inf>6</inf>]Cl<inf>3,</inf> and [Co(en)<inf>2</inf>Cl<inf>2</inf>] Cl, on reactivity of the cationic Co/SiO<inf>2</inf> prepared by strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) was investigated for the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane as a model reaction. According to the charge density of the cobalt complex, highly dispersed Co<sup>2+</sup> species and/or Co<sup>3+</sup> oxide can be obtained on the silica surface. The dehydrogenation activity is in the order of Co/SiO<inf>2</inf> catalysts prepared by [Co(bipy)<inf>3</inf>](NO<inf>3</inf>)<inf>2</inf> > [Co(NH<inf>3</inf>)<inf>5</inf>Cl]Cl<inf>2</inf> > [Co(NH<inf>3</inf>)<inf>6</inf>]Cl<inf>3</inf> > [Co(en)<inf>2</inf>Cl<inf>2</inf>] Cl, correlating to the Co<sup>2+</sup> content of the final catalysts. The cationic cobalt catalysts are more active than the pre-reduced one. Although metallic cobalt is found to be less active, the activity of cationic cobalt catalyst is enhanced under H<inf>2</inf> flow, presumably due to the formation of cobalt hydride intermediate. The inter-conversion of Co<sup>2+</sup>/cobalt hydride intermediate is readily reversible and regulated by presence of hydrogen.

    The catalytic performance of Pd, Pt, and Ni supported on catalysts was investigated for partial hydrogenation of soybean methyl esters, in terms of FAME composition and biodiesel properties, especially oxidative stability and cold flow properties. The effect of Mg modifier over SiO-supported catalysts on cis-trans selectivity of polyunsaturated FAMEs was also examined. The catalytic testing was performed under reaction conditions of 4 bar hydrogen pressure and 80-120 °C. Hydrogenation activity was presented by turnover frequency (TOF) of diunsaturated fatty acid (C18:2) within 4 h of the reaction time. The highest TOF was obtained over Pd catalysts, while the lowest TOF was obtained from Ni catalysts. At high reaction temperature conditions showed a large amount of cis-monounsaturated fatty acid (cis-C18:1); however, it exhibited a large amount of trans-monounsaturated fatty acid (trans-C18:1) which has a negative impact on biodiesel properties. The XPS revealed that the introduction of Mg leads to a strong metal-support interaction caused by electron transfer from the support to the metal, which decreased trans-C18:1 formation and presented the higher oxidative stability than the catalysts without Mg modifier.
