Product Overview
PALLADIUM-CHARCOAL ACTIVATED (10% Pd) is a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst featuring 10% palladium dispersed on high-surface-area activated charcoal. This fine black powder offers exceptional catalytic activity for hydrogenation reactions, making it indispensable in organic synthesis and fine chemical production. The activated charcoal support provides superior dispersion of palladium particles, ensuring maximum surface area and reactivity. This catalyst maintains stability under a wide range of reaction conditions while resisting poisoning from common impurities. The laboratory reagent grade ensures consistent performance with minimal metal leaching. Its free-flowing powder form allows for easy handling and uniform distribution in reaction mixtures. The material demonstrates excellent selectivity in reduction reactions while maintaining high conversion rates. Proper storage in airtight containers preserves its catalytic activity over extended periods. This versatile catalyst finds applications across various chemical transformations where precise control over reaction conditions is required.
FAQs
1. What is the typical particle size range for this palladium-charcoal catalyst?
The catalyst typically features particle sizes in the 5-50 micron range, with the palladium nanoparticles being much smaller and evenly distributed on the charcoal surface.
2. How should I handle this catalyst to maintain its activity?
Always use clean, dry tools when measuring the catalyst. Avoid exposure to air for prolonged periods as oxygen can reduce catalytic activity over time.
3. What solvents are compatible with this palladium-charcoal catalyst?
It works well with most organic solvents including alcohols, ethers, and hydrocarbons. Avoid strong acids or bases that could leach the palladium from the support.
4. Can this catalyst be reused after reactions?
Yes, it can often be recovered by filtration and reused, though some loss of activity may occur with each cycle depending on reaction conditions.
5. What’s the difference between 5% and 10% palladium on charcoal?
The 10% loading offers higher catalytic activity per gram of catalyst, allowing for faster reaction times or lower catalyst loading in your reactions.
