Journal Article
Tripathi, B., Paniwnyk, L., Cherkasov, N., Ibhadon, A. O., Lana Villarreal, T., & Gómez, R. (2015). Ultrasound-assisted selective hydrogenation of C-5 acetylene alcohols with Lindlar catalysts. Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 26, 445-451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultsonch.2015.03.006

The selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) was performed in the presence of Lindlar catalyst, comparing conventional stirring with sonication at different frequencies of 40, 380 and 850 kHz. Under conventional stirring, the reaction r... Read More about Ultrasound-assisted selective hydrogenation of C-5 acetylene alcohols with Lindlar catalysts.

Palladium-bismuth intermetallic and surface-poisoned catalysts for the semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (2015)
Journal Article
Cherkasov, N., Ibhadon, A. O., McCue, A. J., Anderson, J. A., & Johnston, S. K. (2015). Palladium-bismuth intermetallic and surface-poisoned catalysts for the semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol. Applied catalysis. A, General, 497, 22-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apcata.2015.02.038

The effects of poisoning of Pd catalysts with Bi and annealing in a polyol (ethylene glycol) were studied on the semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY). An increase in the Pd:Bi ratio from 7 to 1 in the Bi-poisoned catalysts decreased the...

Novel synthesis of thick wall coatings of titania supported Bi poisoned Pd catalysts and application in selective hydrogenation of acetylene alcohols in capillary microreactors. Lab on a chip, 15(8), 1952-1960. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4lc01066c

Catalysis in microreactors allows reactions to be performed in a very small volume, reducing the environmental problems and greatly intensifying the processes through easy pressure control and the elimination of heat- and mass-transfer limitations. I... Read More about Novel synthesis of thick wall coatings of titania supported Bi poisoned Pd catalysts and application in selective hydrogenation of acetylene alcohols in capillary microreactors.
