Supported palladium (Pd) catalysts have been extensively studied for water purification applications. However, this technology is primarily challenged by the high cost of Pd and the lack of optimization of catalyst formulations. In this report, we demonstrate a convenient approach to prepare and optimize Pd catalysts for the reduction of toxic oxyanions (bromate, chlorate, and perchlorate). Water-dissolved Na2PdCl4 was quickly adsorbed in the suspension of activated carbon within 5 min and reduced into Pd-0 nanoparticles in situ within another 5 min under 1 atm H-2 at 20 degrees C. In terms of both material characterizations and reaction kinetics, the Pd catalysts prepared with the new method show no significant difference from those prepared by the conventional method (involving multiple-step high-temperature procedures) and from benchmark commercial Pd catalysts. With the very simple approach to control, evaluate, and optimize Pd content in the catalyst, we elucidate the relationships among the Pd content, Pd-0 particle size, and catalytic activity. We further showcase that the precious metals in previously reported Re-Pd/C and Mo-Pd/C catalysts can be saved up to 80% without sacrificing the activity. The new and convenient catalyst preparation method will significantly enhance the cost-effectiveness of reductive catalysis technologies for water purification.
