Pd/ZnO catalysts with different origins for high chemoselectivity in acetylene semi-hydrogenation

High-performance supported catalysts with an ionic liquid layer for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene.

Pd-Ag shell catalysts impregnated with two different ionic liquids show considerable improvements both in ethylene selectivity and reduced ethane formation in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene under tail-end conditions.

Chemoselectivity in Transfer-Hydrogenation Reactions

TiO2 supported Pd@Ag as highly selective catalysts for hydrogenation of acetylene in excess ethylene.

A novel TiO2 supported core-shell (Pd@Ag) bimetallic catalyst was fabricated via the sequential photodeposition method. The Ag shell effectively blocks the high coordination sites on the Pd core, and therefore pronouncedly enhances the ethylene selectivity for the catalytic hydrogenation of acetylene in excess ethylene.

Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene over Palladium in Ultra High Vacuum

Under ultra-high-vacuum conditions, precoverage of a palladium(ll1) surface with hydrogen does not affect either the kinetics or the extent of acetylene uptake at 175 K. The subsequent reactive behavior of the system is however radically altered. Benzene formation is strongly suppressed, the transformation of adsorbed acetylene to another species (@-phase) is enhanced, and the yield of ethylene...

Acetylene and Ethylene Hydrogenation on Alumina Supported Pd-Ag Model Catalysts

Adsorption and co-adsorption of ethylene, acetylene and hydrogen on Pd-Ag particles, supported on thin alumina films, have been studied by temperature programmed desorption (TPD). The TPD results show that adding of Ag to Pd suppresses overall hydrogenat ion activity but increases selectivity towards ethylene, i.e. similar to that observed on real catalysts. The results are rationalized on the ...
