Four different metal nanoparticles (metal = Ag, Ru, Pt, or Rh) were impregnated on the acidic cesium salt of tungstophosphoric acid Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 (CsPW) with a loading amount of 2 wt%. The prepared catalysts were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N2 sorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Results confirmed the formation of highly distributed metallic nanoparticle centres over the acidic CsPW. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts were evaluated in the liquid phase hydrogenation of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) to 2-methylpentane (2-MP) at 453 K. Pd-CsPW showed the highest activity compared to other catalysts, where 10% conversion was obtained with 91% selectivity after 4 h’s reaction time.

A petroleum wax has been extracted from crude oil and fractionated into two parts, depending on its solubility in methyl isobutyl ketone–toluene solvent at temperatures of 298 and 313 K. The wax and its two derivatives have been analyzed for composition and crystalline nature using various techniques including gas chromatography, NMR and X-ray diffraction. It has been observed that the crystalline structure of the fractionally precipitated waxes is significantly different from the structure of the parent wax present in the crude oil.

The one-step synthesis of methyl isobutyl ketone from acetone (MIBK) and H2 in liquid phase was studied over Ni-zirconia catalyst prepared by precipitation. The performances of Ni/ZrO2 catalysts were evaluated by the conversion of acetone and the selectivity of MIBK. The effect of different preparation conditions such as aging temperature, calcination temperature, nickel content and reduction temperature was investigated. The results showed that high acetone conversions of up to 33% and MIBK selectivities of up to 85% were recorded at a nickel content of 13.0 wt % and the reduction temperature of 400°C.

Until recently, instruments used to image small biological objects directly have involved the use of light microscopy or electron microscopy. Presently, the use of x-rays has emerged as another probe to investigate details in biological specimens. X-rays can be used either by using an x-ray “lens”, which will be discussed by others at this symposium or by a direct contact “print” of the object on a special emulsion. This latter method is what will be discussed in this paper.The object to be ‘photographed’ is prepared on a substrate and then placed in contact with a resist such as poly- methyl-methacrylate (PMMA). This polymer has the property that when it is exposed to x-rays and then placed in a solution of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) it will 'develop’ depending on the number of x-ray photons absorbed in the PMMA. This three dimensional relief structure is actually a photon density map of the specimen.
