•Two sets of Pd/C catalysts with 1–10wt.% of Pd were prepared using HCl or NaCl.•Catalysts were prepared by conventional formaldehyde method.•As a test subject liquid phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene was used.•We observed no significant difference between used preparation methods.•Pd amount highe...
