Role of catalyst type in the selective separation of olefinic and paraffinic hydrocarbons using xerogel-based adsorbents Original Research Article

Resorcinol–Formaldehyde (RF)-based activated carbon xerogels are typically synthesized using a homogeneous, sodium-based, catalyst solution. In this work, the synthesis of RF-based carbon xerogels using other, non-typical, homogeneous catalyst solutions i
