Synthesis of a Bimetallic Catalyst in a Static CO2-Impregnation Process

The synthesis of palladium and palladium–silver catalysts using supercritical fluid CO2-impregnation (static conditions) was studied. It was shown that the highest amount of metal is impregnated onto a support in a temperature range of 318–323 K and a pressure range of 19.0–23.0 MPa. The activities of palladium catalysts prepared according to the proposed procedure were comparable with those of currently produced industrial samples.
