A solid supported catalyst is a type of catalyst that is immobilized or attached onto a solid support material. This can be beneficial because it allows the catalyst to be easily separated from the reaction mixture, and it also allows for the use of a higher catalyst loading, which can increase the reaction rate. Solid supported catalysts are commonly used in a variety of chemical reactions, including hydrogenation, oxidation, and dehydrogenation reactions.

Application Notes regarding Solid supported
Application Note 58 – Visible light singlet oxygen

In this application, the conversion of α-terpinene to ascaridole was used to indirectly detect the formation of singlet oxygen in continuous flow. The production of singlet oxygen in continuous flow was optimised using the two methods, and the heterogeneous photocatalyst stability was investigated. Once optimised, the singlet oxygen was used for the aerobic oxidation of boronic acids to phenols, and to degrade two environmental pollutants: bis-phenol A and cimetidine.
This application note describes:
- Production of singlet oxygen in continuous flow
- The use of the UV-150 photochemical reactor for heterogeneous dispersions
- Use of heterogeneous photocatalysts as slurries and packed beds in continuous flow
- Easy handling of a complex flow stream of solid, liquid and gas
