Highly dispersive PdCoB catalysts for dechlorination of chlorophenols
1Lab for Advanced Materials, Research Institute of Industrial Catalysis, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai 200237, PR China.
Abstract:
Highly dispersive PdCoB nano-particles were prepared by precipitation-reduction with NaBH4 at 273 K. Characterization showed that the dispersion of amorphous alloy PdCoB nano-particles increased with decrease in both Pd/Co ratio and preparation temperature. The size of PdCoB-L(273) (Pd/Co ratio of 0.0005) nano-particles prepared at 273 K was 5 nm and BET specific surface area was estimated to be 177 m(2)/g, much higher than those of bimetallic catalysts reported in literature. During the hydrodechlorination of 4-chlorophenol, PdCoB catalysts were effective within pH range from 2.5 to 11. The activity of PdCoB can be promoted by the increase in B/Co ratio on the surface. PdCoB-L(273) sample presented the highest efficiency, and the reaction constants described in different terms for 4-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol were much higher than those obtained over PdFe in literature, probably ascribed to smaller particle sizes, less agglomerations and strong synergistic effect between Pd, Co and B species.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
