Ultrasound‐ and Microwave‐Assisted Preparation of Lead‐Free Palladium Catalysts: Effects on the Kinetics of Diphenylacetylene Semi‐Hydrogenation
2015
The effect of environmentally benign enabling technologies such as ultrasound and microwaves on the preparation of the lead-free Pd catalyst has been studied. A one-pot method of the catalyst preparation using ultrasound-assisted dispersion of palladium acetate in the presence of the surfactant/capping agent and boehmite support produced the catalyst containing Pd nanoparticles and reduced the number of pores larger than 4 nm in the boehmite support. This catalyst demonstrated higher activity and selectivity. The comparison of kinetic parameters for diphenylacetylene hydrogenation showed that the catalyst obtained by using the one-pot method was seven times as active as a commercial Lindlar catalyst and selectivity towards Z-stilbene was high. Our work also illustrated that highly selective Pd/boehmite catalysts can be prepared through ultrasound-assisted dispersion and microwave-assisted reduction in water under hydrogen pressure without any surfactant.
