The copper-catalyzed oxidation of graphite

Douglas W. McKee
- 01 Mar 1970 - 
- Vol. 8, Iss: 2, pp 131-139
TLDR
The role of copper as a catalyst in the oxidation of graphite has been studied by optical microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis as mentioned in this paper, which suggests that the catalytic effect involves the localized reduction of cupric oxide by graphite and subsequent reoxidation of the resulting metal.

Catalytic combustion of soot deposits from diesel engines

TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture of soot and catalyst was placed in a flow reactor and a gas mixture containing 6% oxygen, 7% water and balance of nitrogen was led through it at a flow-rate of 90 l/h.

Catalytic oxidation of graphite

TL;DR: In this article, the etch patterns of colloidal metal particles placed on graphite single crystals catalyse the oxidation of graphite, but the catalysis occurs only at the metal-carbon interface.

Etude de la combustion catalytique du graphite

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the catalytic effect of metal catalysts at such temperatures that the rate of the uncatalyzed reaction is negligible and showed that only metals able to oscillate between two degrees of oxidation, under the given conditions of combustion, do show a catalytic power.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the divalent state of the metal enters into the oxidation mechanism of the graphite in a manner similar to that proposed by Long and Sykes.
