Abstract:The catalytic oxidation of glycerol was investigated in assays with palladium-silver bimetallic nanoparticles (Pd-Ag) immobilized on cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4). Bimetallic nanoparticles were prepared by the galvanic replacement method, immobilized on CoFe2O4 by wet impregnation. Bimetallic Pd-Ag nanoparticles with 35 wt.% Pd content effectively catalyzed the selective oxidation reaction of glycerol to glyceraldehyde. Catalytic oxidation was carried out at 60-80 °C for 2-4 h in an aqueous NaOH solution (NaOH:glyc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
