Comparison of conventional versus microwave heating of the platinum catalysed oxidation of carbon monoxide over EUROPT-1 in a novel infrared microreactor cell

Silverwood I, McDougall G, Whittaker G

The oxidation of carbon monoxide over a 6.3% Pt/SiO2 catalyst (EUROPT-1) is studied under conventional and microwave heating and found to display similar activity. The capability of the cell to observe the adsorbed gases spectroscopically is also demonstrated. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
