Analysis

Screening and Activity Tests
In our various test facilities catalysts are examined and developed for various fields of application. Pelletized and monolithic forms can be examined for specific applications. Various test conditions can be selected to simulate the actual industrial application.

- Air purification (CO/H2-removal at ppb-level)
- CO2 purification
- O2 removal
- HC conversion
- Gas purification / oxidation of organic compounds
- DeNOx and DeN2O
- Special gas compositions and conditions on request

Product Analysis for Characterization of Catalysts
The following analyses are available to characterize fresh or used catalysts:
Method : Target Property:
AAS/ICP/aqueous chemistry: Qualitative and quantitative analysis of a sample
BET/CO-adsorption: Specific surface area/precious metal surface area
Density: Bulk density
Hg-porosimetry: Pore volume and distribution of pore diameters
SEM/EDX/XPS: Microscopic inspection and surface analyses
XRD: X-ray diffraction investigations for phase analysis
XRF: Chemical analysis
Laser granulometry: Particle size distribution
DTA/TG: Thermal behavior of a sample
Crush strength and attrition: Mechanical strength
