Abstract

PdSn catalysts prepared by various methods and used for nitrate reduction were investigated by means of in situ 119mSn Mössbauer spectroscopy. Characterization by 119mSn Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed significant differences concerning the modification of the palladium particles supported on alumina. The controlled surface reaction preparation method (CSR) leads to formation of PdSn alloys with different tin contents besides small amounts of Sn(II) species and unalloyed metallic Sn. On the other hand the impregnation method leads to a small amount of PdSn alloys and higher contents of Sn(II) species. Sn(IV) species were found in both kinds of catalysts. The CSR prepared PdSn catalysts showed an improved activity and selectivity compared to the catalysts obtained by the impregnation method.
