“…Hydrodechlorination of chlorophenols using supported palladium has been reported profusely in the literature [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Various types of support materials such as carbon, chitin, chitosan, amino acids, alumina, silica, zeolites, and metal oxides such as TiO 2 , MgO, ZrO 2 have been used for the immobilization of palladium [14,18,20]. Some of the commercially available immobilized palladium catalysts are: Pd/C and Pdalumina.…”
