Di. Kochubei et al., THE STRUCTURE OF ACTIVE-SITES IN SUPPORTED PALLADIUM CATALYSTS FOR COMPLETE OXIDATION ACCORDING TO EXAFS DATA, Kinetics and catalysis, 34(4), 1993, pp. 641-645
The structure of active sites in supported Pd catalysts for complete o
xidation (0.3 - 0.4 wt % Pd) was studied by the EXAFS method. Both fre
sh samples and catalysts having reached steady-state activity in butan
e oxidation were investigated. It was shown that the catalytic activit
y of Pd/La-Al2O3 correlated with the Pd-Pd distance in the oxide struc
ture of an active center.
