Abstract
Anatase and rutile TiO2 were used for preparation of the TiO2 supported Pd and Pd–Ag catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene. It was found that Pd/TiO2-anatase exhibited higher acetylene conversion and ethylene selectivity than rutile TiO2 supported ones. However, addition of Ag to Pd/TiO2-anatase catalyst resulted in lower ethylene selectivity while that of Pd/TiO2-rutile increased. It is suggested that Ag addition suppressed the beneficial effect of the Ti3+ sites presented on the anatase TiO2 during selective acetylene hydrogenation whereas without Ti3+, Ag promoted ethylene selectivity by blocking sites for over-hydrogenation of ethylene to ethane.
