Abstract

The interaction of acetylene with TiO2 (Evonik P25) was studied as a function of gas pressure and contact time by in situ vibrational (infrared and Raman) and electronic (UV-vis) spectroscopy and by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS) of the reaction products. At low pressure the r...
