Palladium catalysts supported on a carbon–silica material were synthesized. Hydrogenation by molecular hydrogen was studied in the presence of straight-chain and cyclic olefins. As distinct from what is observed for olefins having a phenyl substituent, for aliphatic alkenes the reaction rate decreases with an increasing conversion due to the accumulation of hydrogenation products. The synthesized palladium catalysts show a higher hydrogenation activity than Pd/C.
