Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene over Pd, Au, and PdAu Supported Nanoparticles

The removal of trace amounts of acetylene in ethylene streams is a high-volume industrial process that must possess high selectivity of alkyne hydrogenation over hydrogenation of alkenes. Current technology uses metallic nanoparticles, typically palladium or platinum, for acetylene removal. However,...
