Synthesis and characterization of Pd–ZSM-23 with Na and H form for catalytic hydrodehalogenation of bromobenzene

Ion-exchanged Pd–ZSM-23 (1 wt% Pd) with Na form and H form was well characterized and examined in the hydrodehalogenation of bromobenzene. TPR and XPS results suggested that Pd species dispersed in the different location of ZSM-23. Catalytic test was successfully carried out in mild conditions, using hydrazine hydrate as the hydrogen donor, and no by-products were detected. Recycling test of Pd–NaZSM-23 showed that the catalytic performance did not decrease remarkably until four recycle runs.
