Comparison of conventional versus microwave heating of the platinum catalysed oxidation of carbon monoxide over EUROPT-1 in a novel infrared microreactor cell

The oxidation of carbon monoxide over a 6.3% Pt/SiO2 catalyst (EUROPT-1) is studied under conventional and microwave heating and found to display similar activity. The capability of the cell to observe the adsorbed gases spectroscopically is also demonstrated.
