Abstract:

By using Pd/Pt as main active ingredients and Fe/Ni as auxiliary, coconut shell activated carbon(ACcs) loaded mono metal(M/ACcs), binary metal(M-Ni/ACcs, M-Fe/ACcs) and ternary metal(M-Ni-Fe/ACcs) catalysts have been prepared via metal impregnation and H2 reduction. The catalytic activity and selectivity of the catalysts for conversion of CCl4 to CHCl3 by liquid-phase hydrogenation was evaluated. Compared with Pt-based catalysts, the Pd-based counterparts have higher activity, but lower CHCl3 selectivity. During initial reaction time of 5 h, the catalytic activity order follows:Pd-Ni-Fe/ACcs>Pd-Fe/ACcs>Pd/ACcs>Pd-Ni/ACcs and Pt/ACcs≈Pt-Fe/ACcs>Pt-Ni/ACcs>Pt-Ni-Fe/ACcs. Addition of Fe component improves the activity while single addition of Ni lowers the catalytic performance. The Pd-Ni-Fe/ACcs catalyst can realize more than 97% conversion of CCl4 and nearly 100% selectivity for CHCl3 at 393 K for 5 h.
