The mechanism of carbonate formation on Pd–Al2O3 catalysts

Abstract

Vibrational spectroscopic investigations of the adsorption of isotopically labelled and unlabelled CO and CO2 reveal that carbonate formation on Pd–alumina catalysts occurs via an “oxygen down” reaction of CO with hydroxyl groups on the support, whereas CO dissociation on Pd can be excluded.
