<p>Production of a catalyst comprised of a fine-particulate carrier and palladium metal for the partial dehalogenation of di- and/or trichloracetic acids in the presence of hydrogen to produce monochloracetic acid, wherein the dry porous carrier is impregnated with a palladium salt solution and the palladium absorbed by the carrier is reduced to palladium metal with the use of a suitable reducing agent. More particularly the palladium metal is concentrated exclusively on the surface of the carrier by impregnating and partially saturating the dry, fine-particulate carrier with the pure palladium salt solvent; by continuing impregnation until complete saturation of the carrier so pretreated with the necessary quantity of palladium salt solution; and by reducing the palladium salt applied to the carrier to palladium in known manner.</p> |
