Nanoparticulate Pd3Sn on TiO2 and ZnO Supports as Catalysts for Semi-hydrogenation: Synthesis and Catalytic Performance

摘要

New catalytic materials and process chemistries are needed to achieve safer processing and future sustainability in a wide range of applications from the chemical industry to environmental remediation. Catalysts are indispensable in fine chemical synthesis, selective hydrogenations, automotive exhaust treatment, and industrial effluent and municipal waste treatment, technological developments in fuel and photovoltaic cells and pollution abatement technologies. It is recognized that novel and robust catalysts, capable of combining high activity with excellent selectivity and substrate compatibility as well as novel reactor concepts are required to ensure atom economy, process efficiency and environmental sustainability in chemical processing.
