CATLAB
The system is a commercial product, which is a combined ‘zero dead volume’ micro - reactor mass spectrometer system for catalyst characterization with pulse chemisorption, by HIDEN.
Analysis Mode: In situ
CATLAB is suitable for performing TAP (Temporal Analysis of Products) experiments as its microreactor is designed to enable the precise control of gas-phase reactions, while the connected mass spectrometer allows for the real-time measurement of products and reactants. The real-time measurement of reactants and products using mass spectrometry allows researchers to study transient kinetics, mechanistic aspects and reaction intermediates of catalytic reaction
ANALYSIS EXAMPLES
• Obtaining TPR (Temperature Programmed Reduction) and TPO (Temperature Programmed Oxidation) profiles of catalysts
• Determination of adsorption isotherms, metal dispersion and surface acidity
• Reaction testing with simultaneous multicomponent product measurement
• Investigation of kinetic and mechanistic aspects of catalytic reactions; transient kinetics studies
PARAMETRIC USE CASES
• Optimization of preparation parameters/levels used in the preparation of catalysts, including number of serial impregnation cycles, intermediate and final drying process(es), intermediate and final calcination process(es), and reduction process and parameter levels, based on the level of metal distribution
