1. An investigation was made of the transformations of cyclohexane at 468-470° and the hydrogenation of benzene at 260° at a pressure of 10 atm in a fkudized bed of a catalyst containing 2% of palladium supported by fluorinated alumina. 2. The catalyst was highly active and stable both in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane and in the hydrogenation of benzene. In the range of space velocities investigated (1.5-3.2 h-1) scarcely any change occurred in the extents to which these two hydrocarbons were transformed. 3. Under the hydrodynamic conditions adopted catalyst losses amounted so less than 0.5% 1964 Consultants Bureau Enterprises, Inc.
