Pd/Al-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalyst for anthraquinone hydrogenation to hydrogen peroxide

Guide

Abstract Hydrogenation of anthraquinone to produce H₂O₂ is a great important industrial reaction. Here, a series of Pd/xAl-Al₂O₃catalysts with different AlCl₃ contents were prepared by step impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized and analyzed based on XRD, TEM, NH₃-TPD, XPS and N₂ adsorption and desorption. The Pd/1.0Al-Al₂O₃ catalyst with 1% AlCl₃ content exhibits excellent hydrogenation efficiency of 8.3 g·L^-1 and selectivity of 99.5% toward anthraquinone hydrogenation, obviously superior to Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst (5.2 g·L^-1 and 97.2%). The characterization results show that the catalysts modified by AlCl₃ have abundant surface weak acids, which provide more adsorption sites for anthraquinone molecules. At the same time, the introduction of AlCl₃ could improve the dispersion of metal and increase the interaction between the metal particles and the support, which inhibits the agglomeration and loss of metal particles.
