Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Example 2

The free-flowing powder of the freeze dried synthesis mixture was crystallized in a standard Parr Autoclave, the fill level being slightly above the bottom blade using a stacked agitation system. The stacked agitator is shown in the inset of FIG. 2A. The gel was agitated slowly at 320° F. (160° C.) for 10 days. This method produced EMM-17 crystals with a mixed morphology and amorphous material, as shown in the SEMs in FIGS. 2A and 2B.

Example 3

The free-flowing powder of the freeze dried synthesis mixture was crystallized in a standard Parr Autoclave, the fill level being slightly above the bottom blade using a spiral agitation system. The spiral agitator is shown in the inset of FIG. 3A. The gel was agitated slowly at 320° F. (160° C.) for 10 days. This method produced EMM-17 crystals with a more uniform morphology than Example 2 in addition to amorphous material, as shown in the SEMs in FIGS. 3A and 3B. The EMM-17 crystals were large, plate-like crystals ˜3 μm×0.5 μm (particle size ˜3 μm).

Example 4

At room temperature into a 600 ml Parr Autoclave fitted with in situ IR optics was loaded a solution of 7.29 grams trioxane and 250 ml of water. The reactor was sealed and 15.5 grams of SO2 was added via blow case injector. The solution was heated to 50° C. and no change was observed in the infrared spectra with IR bands of all major components remaining unchanged. The solution was then heated to 80° C., again no change was observed. The solution was then heated to 100° C. without any observed change. The solution was then heated to 130° C. and the formation of hydroxyl methane sulfonic acid was observed. A plot of the IR optic data showing the concentration of the SO2, trioxane, and generated hydroxymethanesulfonic acid are shown in FIG. 4.

Synthesis and Reduction of Graphene Oxide Foams

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In a first step, GO was synthesized according to a modified Hummers method starting from graphite powder59 (link). In a typical synthesis, the graphite was oxidized by concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium permanganate. Deionized water was slowly added, followed by hydrogen peroxide. GO was then washed with deionized water and subsequently centrifuged several times until a concentrated solution with a neutral pH was obtained. GO foams were synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis; where aqueous solutions of GO (1.5 mg mL−1) were introduced in an autoclave (Parr instrument company) and heated at 180 °C for 12 h. The as-formed wet gels were then fully frozen and consequently freeze-dried (Labonco Freezone 4.5; 0.05 mBar) yielding 3D GO foams. The reduction of the GO into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) foams was carried out by thermal treatment at 900 °C for 2 h under reducing atmosphere (Varigon, 5%H2/Ar) in a Vecstar tubular furnace.

Hydrocarbon Conversion Catalysis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
n-Hexadecane (1.59 g, 7.0 mmol; 112 mmol based on carbon) and the catalyst (0.10 g) were added to a glass vial (20 mL) with a glass magnetic stir bar, and the vial was then placed into an autoclave (75 mL, Parr Instrument). The autoclave was purged three times with H2 and then pressurized to 45 bar and sealed. The pressurized autoclave was placed in a heating block at the desired temperature (275–375 °C) and stirred (350 rpm) for the given reaction time (2–6 h). After the reaction, the autoclave was cooled to room temperature in a water bath. The gaseous products were transferred into a gas-sampling bag (1 L) and injected into a specialized gas-sampling gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) for analysis. For GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the liquid products, n-dodecane (0.085 g, 0.5 mmol) was added to the vial as an internal standard and diethyl ether was used as the solvent if the resulting liquid was insufficient for GC sample preparation. In certain cases, dichloromethane was used to wash (8 mL × 3) the catalyst, and the catalyst was then vacuum dried overnight before conducting the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

PE (1.59 g, Mw ~4000, Sigma-Aldrich; ~112 mmol of carbon) and the catalyst (0.20 g) were added to a glass vial (20 mL) with a glass-coated magnetic stir bar, and the vial was then placed into an autoclave (75 mL, Parr Instrument). The autoclave was purged three times with H2 and then pressurized to 45 bar and sealed. The pressurized autoclave was placed in a heating block at the desired temperature (275–375 °C) and stirred (500 rpm) for the given reaction time (2–16 h). After the reaction, the autoclave was cooled to room temperature in a water bath. The gaseous products were transferred into a gas-sampling bag (1 L) and injected into a specialized gas-sampling gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) for analysis. For GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the liquid products, n-dodecane (0.085 g, 0.5 mmol) was added to the vial as an internal standard and diethyl ether was used as the solvent if the resulting liquid was insufficient (<0.5 mL) for GC sample preparation.

Physic-mechanical investigation was repeated after thermal aging. Accelerated ageing tests were conducted in autoclave (Parr Instrument Company, Moline, IL, USA) according to the EN ISO 2440 standard. At first, samples were conditioned at a temperature of 23 ± 2 °C and a humidity equal to 50 ± 5% for 24 h. After the conditioning process, samples were placed in an autoclave where the temperature was set up to 120 °C, the humidity was 100%, and the pressure was 0.3 MPa. The ageing process lasted for 144 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Typically, CEL (50 mg) or lignin model compounds (15 mg), Ru@NC (5 mg), and MeOH (10 mL) were charged into an autoclave (50 mL, Parr Instrument Company, Moline, IL, USA), which was then flushed with N2 for three times and pressurized with 3 MPa H2 at room temperature. Afterwards, the mixture was stirred at 800 rpm and heated to the desired temperature. After the reaction, the autoclave was cooled and depressurized carefully. The reaction mixture was filtered through a nylon 66 membrane filter (0.22 μm), and the insoluble fraction was washed with DCM. Lignin oily product was obtained after removing DCM under a vacuum condition. An external standard (1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene) was added to the lignin oily solution in DCM.

Polystyrene-Reinforced Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Aerogels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used monodisperse polystyrene (PS) spheres with a diameter of 210 ± 6 nm, as determined by image analysis of scanning electron micrographs (the corresponding average particle diameter was 244 nm determined by dynamic light scattering). The PS spheres were prepared by emulsion polymerization of styrene using potassium persulfate (KPS) as the initiator and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the stabilizer, as previously reported.23 (link) A mass of 0.1 g of PS spheres was added to a resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) sol which was prepared according to ref. 15 (link). For comparison, pristine RF samples were also prepared without PS addition. The sol–gel reaction of resorcinol with formaldehyde was catalyzed by sodium carbonate (Na2CO3; R/C = 50), and we adjusted the pH value to 5.45 by adding diluted nitric acid (HNO3) for condensation. We obtained cylindrical monolithic RF aerogels samples after gelation and aging at 80 °C for seven days. The RF aerogels were immersed in an acetone bath (50 mL) and the liquid was exchanged and replenished three times in three days. Wet RF aerogels were dried with supercritical CO2 in an autoclave by Parr Instruments with a volume of 300 mL at 9 MPa and 55 °C. Subsequently, the RF samples were carbonized in a tube furnace at 800 °C under argon gas.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
