Abstract: New bimetallic Pd–Mn catalysts supported on the carbon material Sibunit have been obtained and studied for the process of producing ethylene by acetylene hydrogenation. The composition, structure, morphology and electronic state of the active phase have been studied in detail depending on the temperature of treatment in hydrogen and the Pd/Mn ratio by XRD, XANES, EXAFS, TEM, XPS. It has been found that the active species are the nanoparticles of intermetallic tetragonal structure Pd3Mn2 that formed during the treatment of Pd–Mn/Sibunit in H2 at 500 °C. Increasing the reduction temperature to 600–700 °C provides an increase in the proportion of the Pd3Mn2 phase due to more complete involvement of palladium in the interaction with manganese. Pd3Mn2 nanoparticles are less active but more selective than Pd nanoparticles due to changes in the geometry of active sites and their electronic state. It is shown that catalysts containing a twofold molar excess of Mn relative to Pd are characterized by the presence of more dispersed bimetallic particles than samples containing less manganese, due to which they are characterized by higher activity. Pd–Mn/Sibunit catalysts provide a high ethylene yield (up to 75%), which makes them promising materials for the process of acetylene hydrogenation to ethylene.
