Un sistema per la determinazione della chimica intra-catalisi dei reattori

Misura in tempo reale la concentrazione di gas in un monolite di catalisi

Spaci-MS permette di determinare le specie e ottenere il profilo di temperatura radialmente e assialmente, con un'elevata risoluzione spaziale e temporale e con una minima perturbazione del flusso o della temperatura. Il multi ingresso a 16 canali è accoppiato con uno spettrometro di massa per fornire una una mappatura della temperatura e delle specie.

Overview

The Hiden Analytical spatially resolved capillary inlet MS (Spaci-MS) is the first commercially available instrument of its kind.

The Spaci-MS inlet was originally conceived and developed by researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Cummins, Inc. to study diesel catalysis (1) and has been further developed for a whole range of applications.

The 16 capillary sampling probes and thermocouples are arranged in an X-Y array. A Z-shift provides movement and accurate positioning of the array in the Z plane. In usual practice, the 16 capillary sampling probes are sequentially analysed by the MS. The Z-shift is then actuated to move the sampling probe array to the next incremental Z position and the analysis sequence is repeated. On completion the analytical data provides a spatial representation of temperature and sample gas composition of the volume enclosed within the X-Y array over the total incremental Z distance moved.
