Jl. Benitez et G. Del Angel, Effect of chlorine released during hydrodechlorination of chlorobenzene over Pd, Pt and Rh supported catalysts, REACT KIN C, 70(1), 2000, pp. 67-72
Chlorobenzene hydrodechlorination in liquid phase has been studied. Chlorin
e released during the reaction inhibits conversion in large metallic partic
les. It was found comparing the behavior of Pd/SiO2, Pd/Al2O3 and Pd/C cata
lysts that the support plays the role of a chlorine trap. The activity for
Pt, Rh and Pd at similar dispersions corresponds to the chlorine adsorption
affinity of the metals.
