Effect of Calcination Temperature on Catalytic Activity of Pd/C Particle Prepared by Ionic Liquid for Hexafluoropropylene Hydrogenation

Abstract

Palladium particles were simply synthesized using 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Hmim][PF6]). The morphology of the particles was significantly affected by the ionic liquid. Palladium was impregnated on a carbon powder for hexafluoropropylene hydrogenation catalysts. Catalytic activity was varied by the calcination temperature. Under the identical conditions, the catalyst prepared using the ionic liquid after calcined at 500 degrees C was the most active in this reaction.
