TL;DR: In this article, the vapour phase hydrogenation of carboxylic acid esters to give alcohols is described, where the Group VIII element is ruthenium, nickel, or rhodium and the promoter is introduced on to the carbon as a water stable compound of Group IA, IIA metal, a lanthanide or actinide.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the vapour phase hydrogenation of carboxylic acid esters to give alcohols. More particularly, this invention pertains to a process for the production of an alcohol by hydrogenation of an ester with a hydrogenation catalyst comprising a Group VIII element, a promoter, and a carbon support. This process is characterized in that (1) the Group VIII element is ruthenium, nickel, or rhodium, (2) the promoter is introduced on to the carbon as a water stable compound of Group IA, IIA metal, a lanthanide or actinide, and (3) the carbon has a BET surface area of at least 100 m 2 /g, and a ratio of BET to basal plane surface area not greater than 4:1, and (4) the hydrogenation is carried out in the vapor phase at a temperature in the range 100° C. to 400° C. at a total space velocity of 100 to 120,000.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption isotherms follow the Langmuir equation above an equilibrium concentration of 2.0 × 10−3 mmoles/liter of Cu2+.
Abstract: Adsorption of Cu2+ on various crystalline modifications of MnO2 at 300°K and in buffered medium of pH 4.4 has been studied. The adsorption isotherms follow the Langmuir equation above an equilibrium concentration of 2.0 × 10−3 mmoles/liter of Cu2+. The isotherms reveal that the δzMnO2 group of samples show the highest sorption capacity followed by the electrolytic γzMnO2 and αzMnO2 group of samples. Beta-MnO2 shows the poorest sorption capacity. Similar is the behavior for release of Mn2+ in solution during the adsorption of Cu2+. It has been observed that there is a direct relationship between the amount of Mn2+ release and the fraction of lower valence manganese present in the samples. Adsorption capacity is also found to be directly related to BET surface area.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface area of polyoxymethylene (POM) is shown to be 150 m2/g, which is the largest surface area known for POM.
Abstract: Single crystals of polyoxymethylene are flat, homogeneous, and essentially uncharged and offer a large specific surface area. Since they can be prepared reproducibly and in large amounts, they constitute a suitable model substrate in systematic adsorption studies. The crystallization procedure is discussed in some detail. The thickness of the crystals is obtained from EM and SAXS measurements, the results being in excellent mutual agreement. Combining this thickness with the crystal density the geometrical surface area is found to be 150 m2/g. This is compared with the surface area obtained by BET analysis of nitrogen adsorption (30 m2/g) and with the surface area that follows from adsorption of polyoxyethylated nonyl phenols from aqueous solution (60 m2/g). The discrepancy in the results is explained in terms of different degrees of aggregation of POM crystals in the dry state and in suspension. Finally, some preliminary results of albumin and sodium polystyrene sulfonate adsorption are discussed.
