Microwave irradiation: an effective method for the preparation of low dispersed Pd/Al2O3 catalysts used in the hydrodechlorination of CCl2F2 to CH2F2
Microwave irradiation is found to be a faster method for the preparation of low dispersed Pd/Al2O3 catalysts with higher activity and selectivity to CH2F2 in the hydrodechlorination of CCl2F2.
