• available production and modification methods and possible characterization techniques. We evaluate the preparation methods for activated carbon materials with respect to its use as catalyst support and identify important parameters for metal loading. The considered carbon sources include coal, wood

• to regain their 3D structure [33][46]. Using MPD is not only beneficial for the polymerization process, but also enables the use of characterization techniques such as transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Polymeric detergents are effective protein-stabilizing agents mainly at

• also acts as a base. After the reaction, the mixture was poured into acidified water resulting in the precipitation of the product that could be purified by recrystallization from a mixture of ethanol and acetone. Besides the common characterization techniques to prove the purity of the compounds, i.e
