Studies on the Utilisation of Spent Palladium–Activated Carbon (Pd/AC) Catalysts

The present paper offers an assessment of using wastes such as palladium–activated carbon (Pd/AC) catalysts through their regeneration or metal recovery. In order to regenerate a catalyst it has been found necessary to clean up its surface completely and restore the original form of the metal. Super...
