Gravimetric determination of palladium with biguanide sulfate
1986
Abstract Biguanides are interesting reagents for the determination of palladium owing to their solubility, chemical resistance, and selectivity in moderately acidic solutions. A procedure for the gravimetric determination of palladium(II) in the form of Pd(HL)2SO4, where HL = biguanide, is proposed and the conditions of precipitation, treatment of the precipitate, precision, accuracy, and selectivity of the procedure are discussed.
Unprecedented Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reaction of α-Bromo Sulfoxides with Boronic Acids
2003
[reaction: see text] A new Suzuki-type palladium-catalyzed reaction of boronic acids with alpha-bromo sulfoxides has been developed using a protocol similar to the well-documented reaction of boronic acids with aryl halides. Both cross-coupling and homocoupling processes were observed. The best yields in cross-coupling products were obtained when the presence of oxygen was carefully excluded using degassed solvents. The oxidative addition palladium complex intermediate could be isolated and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.
Pd and PdAu on mesoporous silica for methane oxidation: Effect of SO2
2007
Abstract Palladium and gold–palladium catalysts supported on mesoporous silica were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. They were characterized by XPS, XRD, BET, and FTIR acidity measurements. The activity was tested in the oxidation of methane under lean conditions. The effect of adding SO 2 to the reactant mixture was investigated. Test reactions were consecutively performed to evaluate the thermal stability and poisoning reversibility. The palladium catalyst performed quite well in terms of the light-off temperature ( T 50 300 °C) and SO 2 tolerance. Moreover, the activity, which decreased after a night treatment in SO 2 at 350 °C, was completely recovered in subsequent cycles. …
The effect of gold addition on the catalytic performance of copper manganese oxide catalysts for the total oxidation of propane
2011
Mixed copper manganese oxide catalysts (Hopcalite) have been studied for the total oxidation of propane, as a model for hydrocarbon volatile organic compound emission control. Catalysts were prepared using coprecipitation with and without gold. Calcination temperature influenced the catalyst activity and those prepared at 300 °C were the most active. Characterization showed that the catalysts had a nanowire-type morphology, and for those containing gold it was present as metallic particles occluded within the nanowires. The incorporation of gold into the catalyst enhanced the activity for propane conversion, but the presence of gold did not noticeably enhance the light-off activity. Althou…
Design of PNIPAAM covalently grafted on halloysite nanotubes as a support for metal-based catalysts
2016
A thermo-responsive polymer such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM) was covalently grafted on the external surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) by means of microwave irradiation. This nanomaterial was used as a support and stabilizer for palladium nanoparticles. The obtained HNT–PNIPAAM/PdNPs was characterized by means of TGA, SEM, EDS and TEM analyses. The palladium content of the catalyst was estimated to be 0.4 wt%. The stability of the catalytic material at different temperatures (below and above the PNIPAAM lower critical solution temperature) was tested in the Suzuki reaction under microwave irradiation. In addition, TEM analysis after five consecutive runs was performed. The …
Optimized bath for electroless deposition of palladium on amorphous alumina membranes
2006
A new bath for the electroless deposition of palladium on anodic alumina (AA) membranes is proposed. It was found that the optimal conditions for the uniform deposition of palladium, with minimal damage to the AA membranes, were under conditions of pH 8.4 and plating times shorter than 30 min. The deposited Pd layer was detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The morphology of the AA membrane before and after plating was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). EDX analysis revealed that palladium was deposited only on the surfaces of the membrane and Sn ions, coming from the sensitizing bath, were incorporated into the palladium layer. EDTA in…
On the correlation between mechanical and TEM studies of the aging of palladium during tritium storage
2005
Abstract Tritium has considerable technological applications in nuclear industry. Since it is a radioactive element, its storage is often considered in the form of tritides which ensure the required safety. However, the decay of tritium into 3 He alters the tritide properties during aging. With the aim of understanding the aging mechanisms of palladium tritide, a macroscale approach coupled with a microscopic study was performed on palladium aged up to eight months after tritium loading. The macroscale investigation based on the vibration of microcantilevers allowed the mechanical response of the material to be followed during its aging. The microscopic study was performed by Transmission E…
Die Cooligomerisierung von butadien mit α-hydroxycarbonsäureestern
1977
Abstract Glycolic acid butyl ester as well as lactic acid ethyl ester react with butadiene in the presence of palladium(II) acetylacetonate and triphenylphosphine as catalyst. The main product is the 2-trans, 7-octadienyl ether of the hydroxy acid ester, which is formed in yields from 65 to 80% at room temperature.
Combined effect of noble metals (Pd, Au) and support properties on HDS activity of Co/SiO2 catalysts
2009
Abstract Cobalt-based catalysts supported on different types of SiO 2 are studied in the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene. Amorphous silica and siliceous MCM-41 and HMS, characterized by different texture and surface acidity are used as carriers. The effects due to the modification of the support by impregnation with palladium precursor and to the co-impregnation of cobalt and gold are considered. The catalysts are characterized by N 2 physisorption (BET), XRD, TPR and XPS techniques. The use as supports of the ordered mesoporous silica with higher surface area with respect to amorphous silica, produces a better dispersion of the cobalt oxides particles. Moreover, the addition of palladium…
Deep oxidation of propane using palladium–titania catalysts modified by niobium
2008
Abstract Pd/TiO 2 catalysts modified by niobium have been prepared and tested for the complete oxidation of propane. The catalysts have been characterised by BET, XRD, laser Raman spectroscopy, XPS, DRS and TPR. The incorporation of niobium into Pd/TiO 2 catalysts resulted in a marked increase in the catalytic activity compared to the Nb-free Pd/TiO 2 catalysts, and the activity increased as the niobium and/or palladium loading increased. The addition of Nb significantly modified the nature of the palladium and niobium species. There was a marked increase in the oxygen mobility after niobium addition. This could not only promote the presence of palladium species in a totally oxidized state …
