Appearance: Fine black powder

Palladium on carbon is a heterogeneous catalyst consisting of finely dispersed palladium metal supported on activated carbon. The 10% formulation contains 10% by weight of palladium. It is widely used in catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions in both laboratory and industrial-scale processes.

Chemical and Physical Properties
Palladium Content: 10% (by weight)
Surface Area (Carbon): Typically 500–1500 m²/g
Density: Varies; typically ~0.3–0.5 g/cm³ (bulk)
Solubility: Insoluble in water and organic solvents
Odor: Odorless
Appearance: Finely divided black powder

Applications

• Catalysis: Used in hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, nitro groups, and deprotection reactions.

• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in C–C and C–N coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Heck reactions (when used with appropriate ligands).

• Gas-Phase Reactions: Utilized in hydrogen absorption/desorption and gas purification systems.

First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if unwell.

Handling and Storage
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, inert atmosphere. Avoid contact with air when dry; may ignite spontaneously.
Handling Precautions: Handle under inert gas when dry. Use non-sparking tools. Avoid dust formation and ignition sources.
