G. Del Angel et Jl. Benitez, Effect of HCl acid on the hydrodechlorination of chlorobenzene over palladium supported catalysts, J MOL CAT A, 165(1-2), 2001, pp. 9-13
Ammonia and hydrochloric acid effects have been studied in the chlorobenzen
e hydrodechlorination in liquid phase on Pd/C catalysts. The addition of NH
4OH to the reactant medium does not modify the reaction rate while in hydro
chloric acid medium the activity was increased. The role of HCI acid in the
activity is explained by a partial oxidation of the Pd particles. (C) 2001
