Abstract

Pd/Mg(Al)O samples (0.05 < Pd < 0.5 wt%) were evaluated in the gas phase reaction of acetone with hydrogen to methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). The catalysts were prepared by impregnating a calcined Mg–Al layered double hydroxide with Pd acetylacetonate in toluene solution. The highest selectivity to MIBK was achieved with ca. 0.2 wt% Pd and size of Pd particles of ca. 3–5 nm.
