Catalyst Performance Unit
- Name: Lab-CPU 01
- Manufacturer: P&P Industries AG
- Type: Chemical Conversion Test Prototype
- Description of analytical method:
Testing of heterogeneous honeycomb catalysts and extrudates in a chemical conversion tester is essential for evaluating their performance in industrial applications, such as in catalytic converters for automotive and environmental systems. This process involves subjecting the catalysts to elevated temperatures, up to 600 °C, to simulate real-world conditions and observe their behavior during chemical reactions. The test setup typically measures the concentration of key gases, including SO2, CO, O2, and NH3, NOx, VOCs, which are critical indicators of the catalyst’s efficiency and reactivity. These measurements help assess the catalyst's ability to facilitate or convert various reactions, such as the oxidation of sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), or ammonia (NH3) under high-temperature conditions. Key benefits of this testing include: Evaluation of catalytic performance at elevated temperatures, which is crucial for understanding how the catalyst behaves in realistic operational environments. Real-time concentration monitoring of important gas species like SO2, CO, O2, and NH3, providing insights into the catalyst’s activity and selectivity. Durability assessment under high temperatures to ensure long-term stability and effectiveness of the catalyst in real-world applications. This testing process is vital for the development and optimization of honeycomb catalysts and extrudates, ensuring they meet the required performance standards in chemical and environmental applications.
