Abstract: The modifying effect of cobalt on palladium in novel bimetallic Pd-Co catalysts supported on α-alumina was studied, and the catalytic properties of Pd-Co/α-Al2O3 samples in the direct selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene were carefully investigated. It was shown that the temperature of catalyst treatment in hydrogen and the Pd/Co ratio are effective tools for varying nanoparticles composition of the Pd(1-x)Cox solid solution formed in the catalysts. Increasing the reduction temperature and decreasing the Pd/Co molar ratio leads to a gradual increase in the Co content in the Pd(1-x)Cox particles, which provides a slight decrease in activity, but an improvement in ethylene selectivity and the yield of the target product. Using XRD, XPS, HR TEM, TPD-C2H4 and TPR-H2 it was found that an increase in the cobalt concentration in Pd(1-x)Cox nanoparticles suppresses the ability of the active component to activate hydrogen, enhances the electron interaction between Pd and Co and ensures rapid desorption of ethylene from the catalyst surface. The highest selectivity was demonstrated on supported Pd(1-x)Cox nanoparticles with the value of x > 0.4. It was also established that Pd-Co/α-Al2O3 samples with Pd:Co = 1:3 and 1:4 reduced in H2 at 700 ◦C provide a high and stable ethylene yield at a level of 68 % due to the enhanced influence of cobalt on the electronic and geometric properties of palladium in Co-rich PdCo nanoparticles.
