Effect of Fe-modified alpha-Al2O3 on the properties of Pd/alpha-Al2O3 catalysts in selective acetylene hydrogenation
The use of nanocrystalline Fe-modified alpha-Al2O3 prepared by sol-gel and solvothermal method as supports for Pd catalysts resulted in an improved catalyst performance in selective acetylene hydrogenation. Moreover, the amount of coke deposits was reduced due to lower acidity of the Fe-modified alpha-Al2O3 supports.
