The catalyst was pelletized to achieve a size of 355–500 μm. The catalyst pellets were placed in a quartz tube (9.0 mm i.d.) as a fixed-bed reactor. Prior to the reaction, the catalyst was treated at 550 °C for 1 h under air flow (30 cm3 (SATP) min−1). After the pretreatment, the gas flow was changed from air to He (30 cm3 (SATP) min−1) followed by cooling to 400 °C or the other specified reaction temperature. The ETP reaction was performed at three different temperatures: 400, 450, and 500 °C. Ethylene (Wzeolite/Fethylene = 16.4 g-cat. h mol−1) was introduced into the top of the catalyst-bed with He as a carrier gas (30 cm3 (SATP) min−1).

Assessment of fecal SCFAs including acetate, butyrate, and propionate was performed by Gas Chromatography (GC) method using a GC Device (GC-2014 Shimadzu, apparatus, Japan)
following established protocols (35) . Before analysis, samples were thawed and processed according to standardized procedures. Initially, a 500 mg sample of homogenized fecal matter was treated with a 15% aqueous azide solution in a Falcon tube. Subsequently, phosphoric acid was added to each 100 mg of the sample, ensuring complete homogenization. Following this, 2ethyl butyraldehyde was introduced as an internal standard. After centrifugation, the supernatant was filtered for injection. The GC analysis was performed utilizing a Shimadzu GC-2014 apparatus with specific column and carrier gas settings. This methodological approach, which involved precise preparation steps and sophisticated GC instrumentation, facilitated the accurate quantification of SCFAs in fecal samples.

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.
