Any advice on preparing supported catalysts?

womble - 29-1-2007 at 00:46

I have been reading way too many patents. All of hte latest ones seem to deal with both PTC (sorta gettting dealt with in teh org.chem part) and the use of supported catalysts (MnO2, etc.). I was wondering, does anybody have any suggestions, preferably considered, on how one would go about preparing such catalysts?

Thanks Baphomet!

That's F'n awesome. I am impressed that the company would go so far!

OTT, use dry substrate under inert atmosphere with *very* pure proto-catalyst reagents; except in *very* special cases, S8 and CO2 are a no-no. Pay special attention to "particle-size reduction" and slurry techniques.

You're welcome :) I hope you find it useful.

If anyone finds a way to make microspheres in the kitchen please let me know :p
