Abstract
Alumina- and silica-supported palladium catalysts were prepared by con ventional and microwave heating. The catalysts have been characterized by nitrogen adsorption, hydrogen chemisorption, X-ray powder diffract ion and temperature-programmed reduction and tested for benzene hydrog enation activity. The results show that preparation of samples by micr owave heating leads to enhanced crystallite size and increased hydroge nation activity.
