The H2O2 destruction is strongly influenced by the oxidation state of Pd in the catalyst and also by the presence of different halide anions (viz. F-, Cl-, Br- and I-) in the acidic aqueous medium or in the catalyst, depending upon the concentration of halide anions. The cations associated with halide anions have, however, a little or no influence on the H2O2 destruction. The iodide anions strongly poisoned the catalyst, even at their very low concentration. The fluoride anions have only a small effect on the H2O2 destruction. The chloride or bromide anions drastically inhibit the rapid H2O2 decomposition, but promote the slower H2O2 hydrogenation. The H2O2 destruction reactions are strongly influenced by the halide anion and acid concentrations. The presence of acid (protons) plays a very important role in drastically reducing the H2O2 destruction, particularly in the presence of chloride anions. Both in the presence and absence of Cl- or Br- anions, the H2O2 destruction activity of the catalyst is markedly reduced because of the oxidation of Pd but it is drastically increased due to the presence of H-2. A plausible reaction mechanism for the rapid H2O2 decomposition and slower H2O2 hydrogenation reactions, prevailing under the different reaction conditions, has also been discussed.

In both the cases, the highest synergetic effect (resulting in the highest net H2O2 formation) produced by the addition of other halogen is observed at its optimum concentration (viz. 0.13 mmol Br/g in the fluorinated Pd/Al2O3 and 0.13 mmol F/g in the pre-brominated Pd/Al2O3). The beneficial synergetic effect of the two halogens is also found to be strongly influenced by the way of incorporation of the two halogens in the catalyst. The enhancement in the net rate of H2O2 formation due to the synergetic effect for the different methods of Pd/Al2O3 halogenation is in the following order: simultaneous bromination and fluorination &amp;lt; first fluorination and then bromination &amp;lt; first bromination and then fluorination. The fluorination (at optimum concentration of 0.13 mmol F/g) of the pre-brominated (0.13 mmol Br/g) Pd/Al2O3 led to the best catalyst for the H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation with 100% H-2 conversion and 78% H2O2 yield/selectivity. The destruction of H2O2 by its decomposition and/or hydrogenation over the halogenated catalysts has also been studied.

F-, Cl-, Br- or I-), covering their wide concentration range (0-24 mmol/dm(3)), in the reaction medium. In the absence of any externally added halide, appreciable H2O2 formation in the H2 oxidation occurred only when the medium contained HCl. However, the rates of H2O2 decomposition and hydrogenation are greatly reduced because of the presence of any acid; the influence on the H2O2 decomposition was, however, much larger for the halo acids. In the presence of acid (0.1 N H3PO4 or H2SO4), the H-2-to-H2O2 formation reaction is greatly enhanced by the externally added halide anions up to their optimum concentrations. However, above the optimum halide anion concentration, it is inhibited more than the H-2-to-water formation (parallel) reaction, causing a decrease in both the H2O2 yield and selectivity. Whereas, the H-2 conversion and H2O2 destruction activities of the catalyst are decreased continuously with increasing the halide anion (except F-) concentration. Among the halides, chloride is the best halide promoter for Pd/C catalyst in the H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation. At the optimum Cl-concentration (5.4 mmol/dm(3)), both the H-2 conversion and H2O2 yield are passed through a maximum and the H2O2 decomposition is greatly inhibited with increasing the phosphoric acid concentration. In the absence of either the chloride anions or the acid (or both) in the reaction medium, only a little or no H2O2 is formed in the H-2 oxidation and also the rate of H2O2 destruction is very fast, particularly in the presence of H-2; the rapid destruction of H2O2 is mainly due to its decomposition rather than its hydrogenation. The best H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation results are obtained at the optimum concentrations of both the acid and halide anions. In the presence of acid and chloride (or bromide) promoter, the H2O2 hydrogenation dominates the H2O2 destruction and hence the net H2O2 formation is mainly controlled by the H2O2 hydrogenation.

The influence of the following factors have been addressed in this study: (a) Br concentration (in the reaction medium or incorporated in the catalyst); (b) reaction conditions (viz. reaction time, temperature); (c) concentrations of reducing agent and phosphoric acid in the reaction medium. Decomposition of N2H4 (from NH4-H2SO4) and its reaction with H2O2 under similar reaction conditions (in the absence of O-2) have also been studied. H2O2, which is an intermediate product of the O-2 reduction, is involved in further consecutive reactions. It can be converted to water via its decomposition and/or reaction with the unconverted NZH(4). In the presence of Br promoter, the later (reaction with unconverted N2H4) is more dominant. Both the consecutive reactions are drastically retarded in the presence of protons and Br promoter. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed for illustrating the role of the protons and Br promoter in the selective formation of H2O2 in the O-2 reduction process. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The influence on the net H(2)O(2) formation is found to depend strongly upon the catalyst support due to support-Pd cluster interactions. For both the catalysts, the thermal treatments (except in air) caused a large increase in their Pd particle size.

All the supported PdO catalysts showed lower H2 conversion activity, but higher H2O2 selectivity, as compared to their reduced counter parts. The catalyst performance for the net H2O2 formation is strongly influenced by both the support and calcination temperature of the supported PdO catalysts. The catalysts calcined at 400 degrees C showed better performance. Among the catalysts, PdO/Al2O3 catalyst (calcined at 400 degrees C) showed the best performance (17.0% H2O2 yield) in the H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation. The influence of the calcination temperature of PdO/Al2O3 catalyst on its H2O2 decomposition and hydrogenation activities has also been investigated. Both the H2O2 decomposition and hydrogenation activities increased with increasing the calcination temperature. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Effect of pH and temperature on the destruction of H2O2, Occurring in the consecutive reactions, over the catalyst in the presence or absence of bromide promoter and hydroxylamine has also been studied. In the absence of O-2, the conversion of hydroxylamine by its decomposition over the catalyst increases sharply with increasing the pH, particularly above the pH of 7.0; at or below the pH of 7.0, it is quite small. The H2O2 destruction increases markedly with increasing the pH of medium and reaction temperature but it is found to decrease in the presence of hydroxylamine. For the highest net H2O2 formation, not only the optimum pH (7.0) of reaction medium but also the optimum other reaction conditions (viz. bromide promoter concentration, reaction period, temperature or catalyst loading) are necessary. The reaction path and mechanism for the generation of H2O2 have also been suggested. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The effects of the O-2/H-2 ratio, reaction temperature and acid concentration on the destruction of H2O2 by its decomposition and/or hydrogenation reactions over the catalyst in the acidic reaction medium have also been studied. The net H2O2 formation (H2O2 yield) over the catalyst passed through a maximum with increasing the acid concentration, the temperature or the O-2/H-2 feed ratio. However, it decreased markedly with increasing the gas space velocity or the reaction period. The H2O2 decomposition and hydrogenation activities of the catalyst increased appreciably with increasing the reaction temperature and decreased with increasing the acid concentration. The H2O2 destruction during the H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation increased with increasing the concentration of H-2 (relative to that of O-2) due to the increased H2O2 hydrogenation rate over the catalyst. The net H2O2 formation in the H-2-to-H2O2 oxidation decreased sharply with increasing the initial amount of H2O2 present in the reaction mixture. The presence of H2O2 and the higher H-2/O-2 ratios have detrimental effects on the net formation of H2O2. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
