Tandem catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of butadiene with hydrogen generated from the decomposition of formic acid

Abstract

We report for the first time the selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene to butene using formic acid as the hydrogen source with 1 wt% Pd/carbon in a continuous flow reactor. The catalytic results show that the selectivity is even higher when formic acid is used compared to gas hydrogen.
