Catalytic Reduction of Chlorobenzenes with Pd/Fe Nanoparticles: Reactive Sites, Catalyst Stability, Particle Aging, and Regeneration

Zhu, Bao-Wei, Lim, Teik-Thye·2007·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

Monochlorobenzene (MCB), dichlorobenzenes (DCBs), and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (124TCB) dechlorination experiments in water were carried out with freshly synthesized Pd/Fe particles. The pre- and postreacted Pd/Fe samples were characterized by applying various analytical techniques (XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS). Chlorinated benzenes could be completely reduced by the Pd/Fe to benzene and the reaction followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics. The reaction rates followed the order TCB < DCBs < MCB, while among the DCBs the order was 1,4-dichlorobenzene >1,3-dichlorobenzene > or = 1,2-dichlorobenzene. Insignificant reactions were observed with the unpalladized iron, suggesting that Pd was the only reactive site in the Pd/Fe particles. The aged Pd/Fe particles exhibited significant decrease in its dechlorination reactivity. The loss of Pd/Fe reactivity could be due to Pd dislodgment from the aged Pd/Fe particles and Pd islets encapsulation by the iron oxides film developed over aging period. Reactivity of the aged Pd/Fe could be only partially restored after HCI treatment, while regeneration with the NaBH4 reduction method could not restore its activity, although zerovalent state of the iron was reinstated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
