Abstract

The successful application of solid catalyst with ionic liquid layer (SCILL) concept in the selective hydrogenation of propyne is presented in this work. A Pd-based SCILL catalyst was prepared by spray impregnation of commercial available Pd/Al2O3 egg-shell catalyst and characterized by nitrogen sorption. Catalytic testing showed that even small amounts of ionic liquid were sufficient to suppress the consecutive reaction of propane formation, while propene selectivity was increased up to 97%. C6 oligomer formation, which is known to induce deactivation of the catalyst, could be prevented by excess hydrogen in the feed.
