Computer Controlled Device for Characterization of Catalysts and Solid Materials (Micromeritics, model AutoChem II 2920)

The instrument enables computer assisted characterization of catalysts by means of the following techniques: temperature-programmed reduction (-100 – 1100 deg. Centigrade), temperature-programmed oxidation, temperature-programmed desorption (determination of acidic/basic properties of catalysts and other solids, determination of heat of adsorption by using various adsorbates such as CO, CO2, H2, water vapour, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, pyridine)), temperature-programmed reaction, chemisorption analysis (determination of active metal area, crystallite size, active metal dispersion by means of dynamic chemisorption method using various probe molecules such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen oxides, ammonia etc.), single-point determination of BET surface area.
