Six copper oxide-alumina catalysts were prepared using cupric chloride, bromide, nitrate, or sulfate in conjunction with sodium or potassium hydroxide, with wet or dry alumina as the carrier. The pore-size distributions were determined by the Cranston-lnkley method, based on adsorption isotherms. The resulting distributions, unimodal or multimodal, were adequately represented by simple or complex Weibull distributions. The surface areas based on the Cranston-lnkley method were compared with the BET areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
