摘要
Deactivation of Pd/C catalyst often occurs in liquid hydrogenation using industrial materials. For in-stance, the Pd/C catalyst is deactivated severely in the hydrogenation of N-(3-nitro-4-methoxyphenyl) acetamide. In this study, the chemisorption of sulfur on the surface of deactivated Pd/C was detected by energy dispersive spec-trometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Sulfur compounds poison the Pd/C catalyst and increase the forma-tion of azo deposit, reducing the activity of catalyst. We report a mild method to regenerate the Pd/C catalyst: wash the deposit by N,N-dimethylformamide and oxidize the chemisorbed sulfur by hot air. The regenerated Pd/C cata-lyst can be reused at least ten runs with stable activity.
