Platinum and Palladium on Carbon FAQs
Q1: What is Platinum and Palladium on Carbon (Pt/Pd on C)?
Platinum and Palladium on Carbon (Pt/Pd on C) is a heterogeneous catalyst where platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) nanoparticles are dispersed on activated carbon. This catalyst is widely used in hydrogenation, oxidation, and coupling reactions due to its high catalytic activity and stability.
Q2: How does Platinum and Palladium on Carbon work?
Platinum and palladium serve as active catalytic sites, accelerating chemical reactions by lowering activation energy. The high-surface-area activated carbon enhances metal dispersion, improving catalytic efficiency and stability.
Q3: Can Pt/Pd on Carbon be regenerated or recycled?
Yes, the catalyst can be regenerated using:
Thermal treatment to remove adsorbed contaminants
Chemical washing to remove surface poisoning agents
Metal recovery processes for recycling precious metals
