Time-Resolved Dynamics During the Initial Decline in Catalytic Activity of the CO + NO Reaction Over Platinum – Elucidating the Role of NCO

April 29, 2025

SSRN

The temporal evolution of the reduction of NO by CO over Pt/Al2O3 as a layered and powdered catalyst in flow reactors is investigated as a function of temperature and stoichiometry and at low concentrations typical for emission control. The focus is mainly on the early decline in conversion over freshly reduced or regenerated catalysts as well as on the reaction of NO with isocyanate previously adsorbed on the surface. Results suggest presented suggest that isocyanate formation promotes dissociation of adsorbed NO, thus temporarily counteracting the well-known inhibiting effect of CO adsorption.

Automated synthesis and fragment descriptor-based machine learning for retention time prediction in supercritical fluid chromatography

The integration of automated synthesis and machine learning (ML) is transforming analytical chemistry by enabling data-driven approaches to method development. Chromatographic column selection, a critical yet time-consuming step in separation science, stands to benefit substantially from such advances.
