Synthesis of green and high temperature stable palladium composite

Since the beginning of history, soils play an effective rule inhumane life. They are useful materials for many purposes such as constructing shelters, producing consumable goods, industrial and pharmaceutical applications. The large surface area, mechanical properties, high thermal stability, and other unique properties have caused that Kaolinite widely applied in adsorbents and composites.1-3 Kaolinite has a potential for the catalytic carrier because their surface and special structure are very suitable for supporting transition metals.4,5 This clay as a nontoxic, inexpensive, free available and abundant natural mineral was used to synthesize magnetic nanocomposite of palladium as a super stable and recoverable green catalyst (Fe3O4/Kaolinite-Pd). The catalytic activity of this system was evaluated in the reduction of Nitroarene compounds. Determination of novel nanoparticles structure was performed using FT‐IR, XRD, VSM, TGA, and SEM–EDX spectral data.
