Synthesis, Characterization, and Use of NbV/CeIV‐Mixed Oxides in the Direct Carboxylation of Ethanol by using Pervaporation Membranes for Water Removal
Angela Dibenedetto,Michele Aresta,Antonella Angelini,Jayashree Ethiraj,Brunella Maria Aresta +4 more
TL;DR: A set-up has been developed that allows the production of quite pure DEC (>90%) with recycling of CO(2) and ethanol, and a morphological and structural study has been carried out on Nb (2)O(5)/CeO( 2) catalysts in order to explain their behavior in catalysis.

In situ X‐ray analysis of MoO3 reduction
TL;DR: In this paper, the reduction of MoO3 to MoO2 under hydrogen/argon atmosphere (5 vol. % H2/95 vol. percentage Ar) in the temperature range 323 K…623 K was studied in situ by means of wide-angle X-ray scattering.
