General description

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application


  • Elucidating and Tuning Catalytic Sites on Zirconium- and Aluminum-Containing Nodes: Investigates the application of tert-butanol in the tuning of catalytic sites within metal-organic frameworks, essential for advancements in material science and catalysis (Yang & Gates, 2021).

  • Photocatalytic mechanism and performance of a novel wool flake-BiFeO3nanosheet-TiO2 core-shell-structured composite photocatalyst: Describes how tert-butanol acts as a solvent in the synthesis of complex photocatalysts, enhancing their efficiency in environmental cleanup applications (Chen et al., 2021).

  • Effect of cross-linked enzyme aggregate strategy on characterization of sn-1,3 extracellular lipase: Demonstrates the role of tert-butanol in enzyme immobilization techniques to improve the stability and activity of lipases, vital for biotechnological applications (Zhu et al., 2021).
