CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL OVER PLATINUM BASED CATALYST: A STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF METHYL CELLULOSE ON Pt PARTICLES DISPERSION OVER MULLITE

This study showed that platinum exhibits better dispersion on alumina sites than silica sites. This can be due to a strong interaction between platinum and alumina, leading to a higher dispersion of platinum species. Furthermore, the addition of MC enhanced the Pt dispersion over the mullite, leading to an improvement in the catalytic performance.
