A highly active catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation reactions made up of Pd-Au alloy particles containing about 40 to 80 aromatic percent Au and ranging from 15 to 40 A in size, said particles being supported in an amount of from about 1.5 to 10 weight percent on a silica or other suitable carrie

A highly active catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation reactions made up of Pd-Au alloy particles containing about 40 to 80 aromatic percent Au and ranging from 15 to 40 A in size, said particles being supported in an amount of from about 1.5 to 10 weight percent on a silica or other suitable carrier. The alloy particles, which have a surface composition similar to the overall composition, are prepared by an ion-exchange method in which a stable AU III compound such as bisethylenediamine Au III chloride and a palladium salt are added to an aqueous ammoniacal dispersion of the carrier material (i.e. silica gel) to form a precursor which is subsequently reduced in dihydrogen.

A catalyst useful in hydrogenation and oxidative dehydrogenation reactions comprising Pd-Au alloy particles containing from about 30 to 80 atomic percent Au and ranging in size from about 15 to 40A, said alloy particles being supported in an amount of from about 1.5 to 10 weight percent on an inert,

A catalyst useful in hydrogenation and oxidative dehydrogenation reactions comprising Pd-Au alloy particles containing from about 30 to 80 atomic percent Au and ranging in size from about 15 to 40A, said alloy particles being supported in an amount of from about 1.5 to 10 weight percent on an inert, porous adsorptive, refractory oxide support. A method for preparing a catalyst made up of fine Pd-Au alloy particles of uniform composition held on an inert, porous, adsorptive, refractory oxide support, said method comprising adding a dilute aqueous solution of stable Pd- and Au III-containing compounds, present in proportions calculated to give the desired Pd-Au alloy composition, to a warm dispersion of said support in an aqueous ammoniacal medium Whereby Au III- and Pd-containing ions are exchanged for NH4+ions present in the support; washing the resulting support to free the same of other than Au III- and Pd-containing ions; and heating the washed support in dihydrogen at temperatures effective to reduce the metals and form fine Pd-Au alloy particles on the support surfaces; said stable Pd- and Au III-containing compounds each being characterized by the ability to withstand temperatures of 60°-80°C. when in continuous contact with ammoniacal solutions having a pH of at least 11.
