Suspended amination : Semi‐batch oxidative synthesis of aniline from benzene and ammonia was performed at atmospheric pressure using a NiO/ZrO 2 cataloreactant in a microreactor flow setup. A Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism is suggested based on the surface reaction between adsorbed benzene‐ and ammonia‐derived NH x species on metallic Ni surface sites.
