A series
of 2 wt % Pd/TiO<sub>2</sub> monometallic catalysts were prepared
by varying some parameters, such as the nature of the precursor salt,
the titania support, and the preparation method. The structural and
textural properties of the catalytic systems were fully characterized
by several physical and chemical techniques (inductively coupled plasma
optical emission spectrometry, N<sub>2</sub> physisorption, H<sub>2</sub> chemisorption, transmission electron microscopy coupled with
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed
reduction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and gas phase reaction
of cyclohexane dehydrogenation). The catalytic performances were further
estimated for the hydrogenation of an aqueous solution of succinic
acid (SUC) performed in a batch reactor at 160 °C and under 150
bar total pressure. The results showed that all the Pd catalysts are
very selective to produce γ-butyrolactone, the first hydrogenated
product. However, the rate of succinic acid conversion is a function
of both the Pd dispersion and the preparation method. The deposition–precipitation
method allows one to obtain the highest performing 2 wt % Pd/TiO<sub>2</sub> samples during SUC hydrogenation in terms of activity and
stability.
