To convert Ethyne to Ethene:
Hydrogenation process is used in presence of lindlar catalyst.
Lindlar catalyst : The catalyst is prepared by reduction of palladium chloride in a slurry of calcium carbonate followed by adding lead acetate. By this approach, one obtains a catalyst with a large surface area. Further deactivation of the catalyst with quinoline enhances its selectivity, preventing formation of alkanes.
