Abstract
AbstractElectrophoretic deposition (EPD) was applied for the coating of a Pd/TiO2 catalyst for the production of biohydrogenated diesel (BHD) in a microscale‐based reactor. The coating of TiO2 using EPD was investigated under various operating conditions. The Pd/TiO2 catalysts prepared by EPD were compared with the samples obtained by the conventional washcoating (WC) technique. The optimum EPD condition giving a high degree of adhesion was determined, using Tiron and Pluronic F127 as the additives. The coated catalysts were tested for their catalytic activity. By comparing with Pd/TiO2(WC), Pd/TiO2(EPD) catalysts exhibited a higher catalytic performance which could be explained by their uniformity, high amount of Ti3+ species, and oxygen vacancies.
