On the determination of copper surface area by reaction with nitrous oxide
TL;DR: The chromatographic technique for determining the specific copper surface area of catalysts by reaction with nitrous oxide has been investigated in this paper, where the application of a single pulse of Nitrous oxide in excess of that required to oxidize an the surface copper and a temperature of 90°C has been shown to provide a reliable measurement of specific copper surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogenolysis of alkyl formates over a copper chromite catalyst
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of formate structure on hydrogenolysis and transesterification reactions has been carried out on a series of alkyl formates over copper chromite catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogenolysis of ethyl formate over copper-based catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that copper-based catalysts having an open pore structure have the greatest activity and selectivity for the hydrogenolysis reaction and were used for the synthesis of ethyl formate to methanol and ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic studies of gas-phase hydrogenolysis of methyl formate to methanol over copper-based catalyst
TL;DR: In this paper, skeletal copper and copper chromite catalysts were used for hydrogenolysis of methyl formate and the activation energy was found to be around 54kJ/mol for skeletal copper.
