“…These results are quite similar to the obtained in our previous studies with monometallic Pd catalysts supported on activated carbon under the same working conditions [12,20]. Besides, the current catalysts showed slightly higher conversion than those reported by other authors on the HDC of tetrachloromethane (TTCM) with AgPd-based catalysts at low temperatures (125 ºC) [30,63]. According to the literature, Ag is able to adsorb TCM and to break C-Cl bonds, while Pd in the vicinity promotes dissociative chemisorption of H2, providing H atoms to the Ag sites [30,64].…”
