Microreactor of Pd Nanoparticles Immobilized Hollow Microspheres for Catalytic Hydrodechlorination of Chlorophenols in Water

Abstract

A microreactor of Pd nanoparticles immobilized shell-corona hollow microspheres of poly[styrene-co-2-(acetoacetoxy) ethyl methacrylate-co-acrylamide] has been designed for catalytic hydrodechlorination (HDC) of chlorophenols in the sole solvent of water. The strategy of the combined use of the shell-corona hollow microspheres as microcapsule and catalyst scaffold endues the microreactor several advantages. First, the microreactor can be dispersed in the sole solvent of water and acts as a quasi-homogeneous catalyst for catalytic HDC of chlorophenols. Second, the reactant of chlorophenols can be highly concentrated within the hollow microspheres of the microreactor in the sole solvent of water. Third, the resultant product of phenol can be favorably excreted off the microreactor into water because of the polar difference between the reactant of chlorophenols and the product of phenol. Ascribed to the combined advantages, catalytic HDC of chlorophenols can be performed efficiently within the microreactor in the sole solvent of water at room temperature under atmosphere pressure.

Preparation of magnetite-based catalysts and their application in heterogeneous Fenton oxidation – A review

“…According to several studies [113][114][115][116], the catalysts confined in the inner space of nanoreactors or microreactors display enhanced catalytic performance due to the protection of the active sites, which improves the catalytic efficiency. However, only a few works have been published on this topic, overall for the application in Fenton-type oxidation.…”

Porous polymer particles—A comprehensive guide to synthesis, characterization, functionalization and applications

“…Porous particles will also likely to play an increasing role in microsensors [441][442][443]. Finally, microreactors are receiving increasing attention because of the ability to reduce costs and environmental effects by reaction miniaturization [444][445][446]. It is well-known that polymer particles can absorb organic species.…”

Facile synthesis of palladium nanoparticles encapsulated in amine-functionalized mesoporous metal–organic frameworks and catalytic for dehalogenation of aryl chlorides

“…Therefore, great efforts have been devoted to developing methods for dehalogenating aryl halides, which leads to a drastic decrease in toxicity [6][7][8]. Generally, there are several methods for solving the problem [9]: the available techniques mainly include wet catalytic oxidation [10,11], photochemical treatment [12], and palladium [1,[4][5][6][7][8][9][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] catalytic hydrogenation. Recently, an operationally simple iron-catalyzed hydrodehalogenation of aryl halides has also been developed [29][30][31][32].…”
