Effect of calcination temperature on catalytic activity of Pd/C particle prepared by ionic liquid for hexafluoropropylene hydrogenation

Palladium particles were simply synthesized using 1-hexyl-3- methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Hmim][PF₆]). The morphology of the particles was significantly affected by the ionic liquid. Palladium was impregnated on a carbon powder for hexafluoropropylene hydrogenation catalysts. Catalytic activity was varied by the calcination temperature. Under the identical conditions, the catalyst prepared using the ionic liquid after calcined at 500 °C was the most active in this reaction.
