Synthesis of Vinyl acetate over Pd-Cu/ZrO2 nanostructured based catalysts

 Martin Schmal

 Catalytic oxidation is considered as a suitable route for the production of oxygenated compounds from lignocellulose biomass. The development of routes to convert green ethylene from renewable sources, have been motivating other possible applications like green monomers, fuels, and fine chemicals. In this research work we prepared Pd-Cu catalysts over ZrO2 mixed oxides. The catalysts were characterized by following methods XRD-in situ, BET, H2 chemisorption and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). Catalytic tests were performed through experimental planning. Statistical analyses allowed finding the main correlations of the products. The Vinyl acetate monomer formation was influenced by the AcOH and O2 consumption at low ethylene coverage.
