© 2024The catalytic decomposition of methyl formate into carbon monoxide and methanol offers a promising route to enhance the economic efficiency of coal-to-ethylene glycol technology. In this study, we investigated the performance of different supported palladium catalysts for methyl formate decomposition. Activated carbon emerged as a superior support, providing a large surface area and facilitating electron transfer, leading to enhanced catalytic activity. The 5 wt% Pd/AC catalyst exhibited a conversion rate of 96.11 % for methyl formate, with high selectivity towards carbon monoxide (95.05 %) and methanol (99.81 %) at 260 °C. The catalyst stability and effective Pd dispersion on Activated carbon were confirmed through SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR and H2-TPR analyses. Our findings highlight the potential of Pd/AC catalysts for efficient and selective methyl formate decomposition, with implications for high-purity carbon monoxide production and other catalytic processes.
