Analysis of catalysts and microchannel components
EMSL Project ID
5109
Abstract
Microtechnology offers a method of process intensification for a variety of processes, including heat exchangers, reactors, and separators. In order to accompish process intensification, many components such as catalysts and membranes must endure high heat and mass fluxes. To understand the behavior of these components in microchannel reactors, it is often necessary to analyze them at various stages. For example, catalysts require analysis after milling, after incorporation into an engineered matrix, and after testing in a reactor. EMSL offers analytical method ssuch as XPS and Auger spectroscopy that are invaluable in developing this understanding but are unavailable elsewhere in the laboratory. Thus we would like the opportunity to use these resources for our research.
