Abstract: | A Rhodobacter sphaeroides-supported dried, ground palladium catalyst ("Rs-Pd(0)") was compared with a Desulfovibrio desulfuricans-supported catalyst ("Dd-Pd(0)") and with unsupported palladium metal particles made by reduction under H2 ("Chem-Pd(0)"). Cell surface-located clusters of Pd(0) nanoparticles were detected on both D. desulfuricans and R. sphaeroides but the size and location of deposits differed among comparably loaded preparations. These differences may underlie the observation of different activities of Dd-Pd(0) and Rs-Pd(0) when compared with respect to their ability to promote hydrogen release from hypophosphite and to catalyze chloride release from chlorinated aromatic compounds. Dd-Pd(0) was more effective in the reductive dehalogenation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), whereas Rs-Pd(0) was more effective in the initial dehalogenation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) although the rate of chloride release from PCP was comparable with both preparations after 2 h. |
