Abstract:The selective hydrogenation of octyne in a mixed 1-octyne/1octene feed was investigated by employing Pd/Al 2 O 3 and PdAg/ Al 2 O 3 catalysts coated with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([BMIM][DCA]) as SCILLs (Solid Catalysts with an Ionic Liquid Layer). All SCILLs were compared to an organically modified, 1-ethylimidazole (EIM) coated catalyst to determine if there is a SCILL effect. Results of the catalysis showed that both uncoated catalysts were highly active (100 % 1-octyne and 1octene conversion… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
