Highly dispersed gold based catalysts supported on zirconia were employed in the oxidative esterification of furfural by an efficient and sustainable process. Au/ZrO2 catalysts were calcined at different temperatures in order to modulate gold nanosize. A detailed characterization was carried out for the sake of ascertaining if micro structural changes occurred, and the size issue was discussed. Catalysts stability and recycling were investigated too, and the opportunity of reusability by thermal oxidation at a proper temperature was successfully proved. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy in Reflection Configuration for Inorganic and Mineral Pigment Identification

Alessia Artesani, Raffaella Lamuraglia, Federica Menegazzo, Stefano Bonetti, Arianna Traviglia

Summary: This work explores the application of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in reflecting configuration on inorganic and mineral pigments. It overcomes the limitations of weak signal intensity, multiple signal losses and distortion, as well as the current scarcity of databases. The experimental procedure and method used to determine the material absorption coefficient of a group of pigments are described in detail, and the vibrational modes of molecular oxides and sulfides are classified for material identification. The results show that this approach is reliable and can be extended to the study of other materials beyond the heritage domain.
