The present invention generally relates to processes for the catalytic hydrogenation of halonitroaromatics. In particular, the present invention includes processes for the catalytic hydrogenation of halonitroaromatics such as 2,5-dicloronitrobenzene to 2,5-dichloroaniline over a platinum-containing catalyst. The present invention also relates to processes for producing 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid.

A catalyst including platinum (Pt) and a composite support. The composite support includes ZrO.sub.2/mesoporous silica sieve SBA-15. The platinum accounts for 0.01-0.3 wt. % of the catalyst. ZrO.sub.2 accounts for 5-20 wt. % of the composite support.

[Task] The task is to improve, in the hydrogenation of an aromatic halonitro compound, the yield of halogenated aromatic amine as a target product without the need for a dehalogenation inhibitor while suppressing the production of a nitroso compound.

[Solution] A hydrogenation catalyst for hydrogenation of an aromatic halonitro compound includes: a carrier containing at least one of silica, titania, and alumina; and at least one metal carried by the carrier and selected from group 10 elements in a periodic table.

The present invention provides a method for preparing aniline compounds, and also provides a kind of catalyst and use thereof. This method for synthesizing an aniline compound in the invention includes following steps: use molybdenum oxide and activated carbon as catalyst, hydrazine hydrate as reducing agent, then reduce aromatic nitro compounds to aniline compounds. This method is green and high efficiency, and easy to be applied in industry.
