Batch Reactors
We have stirred temperature-controlled glass reactors up to 72L. We have stirred pressure reactors from 20 mL to 2L with pressure and temperature control. For corrosive systems and extreme conditions, we have a 300mL Hastelloy reactor (5000 psi, 500C). The Parr multi-reactor system includes (12) - 70 mL 316SS vessels with independent T control and data logging. The Parr reactors are 3000psi and 300C rated with available glass and Teflon® liners.
Flow reactors
Trickle Bed Reactor – This three-phase reactor provides for co-current vapor and liquid flow through a packed solid catalyst bed 1800 psi and 260C. Trickle-bed reactors are used for gas-liquid reactions such as hydrogenations and oxidations.
We have a second reactor that can be installed in this furnace. The flow controllers are visible in the upper center.
Autosampled Flow Reactors – Two 10mL, isothermal flow reactors are connected to autosamplers enabling sampling through multi-day experiments. The reactors can be packed with catalyst.
Catalyst Characterization
Total BET surface area and active metal surface areas can be characterized on a Micromeritics ASAP 2010.
Micromeritics Autochem II is used to characterize acid-base, and active metal sites and also for temperature programed desorption (TPD) and temperature programed reaction (TPR).
