Example 1

The Cu-based catalysts were synthesized by incipient wetness technique. The chemicals used in the synthesis include Cu(NO3)2.2.5H2O (Alfa Aesar), NORu-3NO3 (Alfa Aesar), Ga(NO3)3.xH2O (Alfa Aesar), Pd(NO3)2.2H2O (Sigma-Aldrich), AgNO3 (Sigma-Aldrich), SiO2 (CAB-O-SIL EH-5, CABOT), ZSM-5 (CBV2314, Zeolyst), ammonium zeolite mordenite (20:1 mole ratio SiO2:Al2O3, Alfa Aesar, noted as MOR). In a typical synthesis procedure, m(Cu)/m(support) was set at 10 wt %, whereas the content of Ru, Ag, Ga and Pd was fixed at 1 wt %. After introducing metals by incipient wetness technique, samples were air dried at room temperature overnight then continued dried in an oven at 110° C. overnight. The obtained samples were calcined at 550° C. for 4 h. Before the acetylene dimerization reaction, catalyst was reduced at 500° C. for 2 h.

ΔHds was measured in a custom-made isoperibol Tian-Calvet twin microcalorimeter. Pellets of about 5 mg were loosely pressed, weighed, and dropped from room temperature into 3Na2O · 4MoO3 molten solvent at 702 C . The calorimeter assembly was washed with oxygen at 43 mL min1 . Oxygen was bubbled through the solvent at 4.5
mL min1 to aid dissolution, evolve water vapor, and to maintain oxidizing conditions. The calorimeter was calibrated against the heat content of 5 mg pellets of high-purity Al2O3 (99.997%, Alfa Aesar) dropped into an empty crucible.

Activated SiC Monoliths for Ionic Liquid Infusion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Silicon carbide (SiC) monoliths with an
average pore size of 3
μm were activated with oxygen plasma for 5 min. The LbL deposition
was performed similarly to the coating of flat surfaces, with an additional
drying step between each immersion. The first immersion used a 0.1%
w/w solution of PDADMAC for 10 min followed by rinsing in DI water
and drying with nitrogen. The second immersion step used a 0.1% w/w
dispersion of Ludox silica particles for 10 min followed by rinsing
in water and drying with nitrogen. The cycle was repeated five times,
and PDADMAC was removed by combustion at 500 °C for 2 h with
a 5 h ramp time.
For infusion of the ionic liquid (IL) and the
leaching test, the coating solutions were exchanged as follows: after
activation of SiC monoliths with plasma, the first immersion was in
a 0.1% w/w dispersion of Al2O3 (average size:
50 nm, Alfa Aesar), which has a zeta potential of 35 mV; this gave
a stable dispersion of positively charged particles. After the rinsing
and drying steps, the second immersion was in a 0.1% w/w solution
of poly(sodium 4-styrensesulfonate) (PSS). We coated SiC monoliths
in 5, 10, and 15 cycles. The PSS was removed by combustion at 500
°C for 2 h.

Characterization of CuO-ZnO-MgO-Al2O3 Catalyst

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The commercial CuO–ZnO–MgO–Al2O3 material was purchased from Alfa Aesar (ref
number: 45776) and has a composition of CuO (60–68 wt %), ZnO
(22–26 wt %), Al2O3 (8–12 wt %),
and some MgO (1–3 wt %), according to the supplier. Table S1 describes the chemicals employed for
the synthesis of the binary catalyst. Tables S2 and S3 list the chemicals employed for the catalytic testing
of the binary Cu–ZnO and commercial catalysts, respectively.
All employed gases were of high purity, >99.995 vol %. Note that
the
commercial catalyst, upon reduction for the reaction, is denoted as
Cu–ZnO–MgO–Al2O3; however,
XPS revealed the presence of unreduced Cu(II) species. For simplicity,
the catalyst was denoted as Cu–ZnO–MgO–Al2O3 since the reduced Cu species are involved in
the active sites.

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.
