Keywords: Semihydrogenation; catalytic coatings; microreactor; Palladium; alkynol; acetylene. Highlights:-Capillary reactors with a diameter of 0.53 and 1.6 mm were coated with a Pd/ZnO catalyst -The alkene selectivity above 97% was obtained in the hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol -At a coating thickness of 6 µm, the onset of internal diffusion limitations was observed -A throughput of 28 kg/day per coated channel can be reached according to the reaction kinetics Graphical abstract:
