Popis: Real regenerated supported palladium (0.5wt.%Pd-LiAl5O8) catalysts used in the hydrogenation of alkenes or alkynes and alkadienes were sintered at high temperatures (300, 500 or 600 °C) in a hydrogen atmosphere, and subjected to alternative treatments in either reducing and/or oxidizing atmospheres. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated hydride formation in the reducing stage, with intermediate compositions ranging between α-PdH and β-PdH, while on using the extended X-ray absorption fine structure technique palladium oxide was observed in catalysts subjected to oxidizing conditions. The statistics of the palladium-crystallite size distributions, as obtained by transmission electron microscopy, showed evidence of sintering and/or redispersion (splitting), as a result of the alternative reducing or oxidizing treatments. The catalytic activity in the alkadiene hydrogenation reaction is influenced by the treatment sequence applied to the regenerated catalysts.
