New instrument available

    The new year brings us a new big opportunity. Now, we are equipped with a TPR/TPD/TPO instrument that will help us to determine catalyst properties and probe the catalyst surface. Our instrument AMI-300 provided by Altamira Instruments has a unique setup. Besides the standard TCD detector, the unit is equipped with an FTIR measuring cell. It extends the possible use as the catalyst surface can be analyzed in situ during/after the sorption process. Finally, we will be able to measure:

    • temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation
    • adsorption/desorption of NH3 or CO2 to determine catalyst acid-base properties
    • adsorption/desorption of volatile organic compounds on the catalyst surface

    This equipment allows us to further understand the structure and properties of our catalysts. If you would like to learn more, do not hesitate to contact us.
