Rapid Catalyst Screening Using Tandem micro-Reactor-GC/MS System

Rapid catalyst screening will be explored in this webinar, including the Tandem micro-Reactor, a powerful system for evaluating a variety of catalysts in a short period of time.

Let’s explore the topic of rapid catalyst screening! The effects of various operational parameters on the performance of a catalyst must be understood before incorporating the catalyst into large-scale installations. A traditional catalyst evaluation system is a large furnace with a start-up time of 3 – 5 hours for stabilization. Therefore a catalyst evaluation typically requires a week to several weeks. A technique that can rapidly characterize the performance of a new catalyst is of great interest to scientists and process engineers.

During this webinar, we’ll be highlighting the Tandem µ-Reactor, a powerful system for evaluating a variety of catalysts in a short period of time. Using the Tandem µ-Reactor, products formed from the gaseous contact reactions occurring in the reactor, which contains a catalyst, can be analyzed online using GC/MS. It has two reaction furnaces (1st and 2nd reactor) arranged in tandem, both of which can be independently temperature-controlled. The 1st reactor is used to preheat or pyrolyze polymeric materials, and products formed are fed into the 2nd reactor and travel through the reaction tube to the GC injector.

Attendees will:

  1. Learn how the Tandem Micro-Reactor enables rapid catalyst screening
  2. Discover how the Tandem Micro-Reactor functions in conjugation with a GC/MS system
  3. Learn the application areas of Tandem Micro-Reactor, such as the analysis of biomass waste conversion to valuable chemicals
