Abstract
Catalytic activity of palladium supported on strongly acidic aluminum fluoride or on much less acidic magnesium fluoride has been the subject of current research. Both catalysts were synthesized by non-aqueous sol-gel method with subsequent two-stage activation: post-fluorination and reduction. The catalytic behavior of prepared Pd/HS-AlF3 and Pd/HS-MgF2 in the hydrodechlorination reactions of chlorinated hydrocarbons was investigated. It was found that differences in support acidity and catalyst’s activation protocol strongly effect the catalytic performance.
