Introduction The need to optimise industrially important processes and new technologies, and to create a sustainable society and environment, drives the search for better energy sources and better materials. Coupled with this is the need for economic development and competi- tiveness in the global market. Worldwide trends are towards greener chemistry, greener energy and a decrease in our reliance on fossil fuels. Catalysis plays an important role in this and two recent papers have discussed how it has shaped, and will continue to shape, society (1, 2). Progressive research into novel catalytic systems is a part of this endeavour. Palladium is one of the most versatile metal catalysts used in industry. Two of the main reasons for its importance are its ability to catalyse the formation of carbon–carbon bonds and the insensitivity of many Pd catalysts to water or oxygen. Pd is particularly effi - cient as a catalyst in hydrogenation reactions. Metal catalysts reach a much greater potential when sup- ported. This is because metal catalyst particles can be dispersed to a greater degree, and therefore are exposed to a larger number of substrate molecules. Up to 75% of hydrogenation reactions are currently carried out over Pd/C catalysts. A variety of carbon supports for precious metal cata- lysts have, for several decades, been used in heteroge- neous catalysis (3). Emerging carbonaceous supports, such as the newly discovered carbon allotropes and shaped carbon nanomaterials (SCNMs), including CNTs (4), see Figure 1(a), carbon microspheres (5), 154 © 2011 Johnson Matthey doi:10.1595/147106711X577274 •Platinum Metals Rev., 2011, 55, (3)• (a) (b) (c) 40 nm 40 nm 50 nm Fig. 1.

Totals Thresholds for possible TCLP violations C. Appendix of Significant Changes 1. SCOPE AND APPLICATION 1.1. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is designed to determine the mobility of both organic and inorganic analytes in liquid, solid, and multiphasic waste under conditions that simulate those found in a landfill. This SOP applies to TCLP for inorganic and organic analytes. 1.2. This method is applicable to soil, sediments and chemical waste. Samples are extracted according to EPA Method 1311 and for inorganic analyses the TCLP extract is digested in preparation for inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), or cold vapor atomic absorption spectroscopy (CVAAS, for mercury analysis). For organic analyses the TCLP extract goes through the organic extraction process in preparation for gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC/ECD). 2. SUMMARY OF THE METHOD 2.1. The sample undergoes a preliminary evaluation, which may include determination of percent solids as well as particle size reduction. For samples with < 0.5% dry solids, the sample filtrate is defined as the extract.

Eine große Herausforderung dieser Katalysatoren ist jedoch die Wiederverwendbarkeit, da sie oft bei der Produktabtrennung inaktiv werden. Thema dieser Arbeit sind mehrphasige, flüssig-flüssig Systeme, in denen Reaktionen mit molekularen Katalysatoren durchgeführt werden, sowie deren Recyclingprozesse. In den verschiedenen Ansätzen ist immer eine wässrige Phase mit einem wasserlöslichen Katalysator vorhanden. Ziel ist, die gesamte wässrige Phase, inklusive Katalysator zu recyceln. Edukt und Produkt der Reaktion bilden eine unpolare Phase und können nach der Reaktion leicht abgetrennt werden. Der Erste Teil der Arbeit behandelt Polymerpartikel, welche in mehrphasigen, katalytischen Systemen als Phasentransferstoffe dienen und so die Reaktion ermöglichen. Die Charakterisierung der Partikel zeigt, dass sie reproduzierbar

  • Monocarborane Complexes Robin A. Mccown, MS
    ABSTRACT Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Iridium-, Iron-, and Cobalt- Monocarborane Complexes Robin A. McCown, M.S. Mentor: F. Gordon A. Stone, Ph.D. + Reaction of the fragments {Ir(PEt3)n} with the monocarborane anion [closo-1- – CB7H8] causes an oxidative insertion to occur, and the iridium moiety to become a cluster vertex. This reaction provides two distinct, neutral, 9-vertex {IrCB7} products, depending on the ratio of iridium and phosphine reactants used. The iridium centers in these products have differing oxidation states, illustrating the exceptional ability of the smaller anionic monocarborane ligands to stabilize metals in higher oxidation states. Although salts of the 11-vertex anionic species [1,1,1-(CO)3-closo-1,2- – FeCB9H10] have resisted synthesis in the past, its analogue [1,1,1-(CO)3-2-Ph-closo- – 1,2-FeCB9H9] has now been prepared. Moreover, two reactions demonstrating the derivative chemistry of this compound have been discovered. Previously, 10- and 12-vertex dicobalt monocarboranes were prepared and studied by treating monocarboranes with [Co2(CO)8]. This produced several poly-cobalt anions. New derivatives of these anions have been synthesized, using protocols developed since their discovery.
