Outstanding catalytic performance in the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene in a front-end process by establishing a "hydrogen deficient" phase

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Dec 10;55(99):14910-14913. doi: 10.1039/c9cc06469a.

Abstract

Pd-[Bmim][Cl] phase was immobilized onto Al2O3 to neutralize the excessive hydrogen in the gas phase to prevent the over-hydrogenation of acetylene, thereby achieving a high selectivity for ethylene.
