Description du produit

The ChemiSorb 2720 and ChemiSorb 2750 can be equipped to perform chemical and physical adsorption tests that are central to the development, testing, and production of catalysts. They employ the dynamic (flowing gas) technique of analysis by which the quantity of gas taken up by the sample or released from the sample surface is monitored by a Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD). Data obtained by the instruments can be used to calculate key parameters for catalyst characterization: metal dispersion, active surface area, BET surface area, average crystallite size, surface acidity or basicity, and activation energy via first order kinetic models.

This basic system without the TPx option makes chemisorption and physisorption analyses affordable to even the most modestly funded laboratories. The instrument rapidly and accurately performs pulse chemisorption studies and surface area analyses. The ChemiSorb 2720 features one port dedicated to performing the sorption analysis and a second port designed for sample preparation. It also features a built-in cooling fan for the sample port, four carrier gas inlets, one prep gas inlet, and the optional capability to accommodate a mass spectrometer or other external detector attached at the exhaust port. In addition to chemisorption experiments that include determining the percent metal dispersion, active metal area, crystallite size, and quantifying acid and base sites, a range of physisorption experiments including BET surface area, Langmuir surface area, and total pore volume can also be conducted. Hands-on calibration and dosing procedures make it an excellent teaching tool for gas-solid surface interaction studies.

The basic instrument (without the ChemiSoft TPx option) provides two ways to collect data: 1) via a front panel meter that may be calibrated to display gas volumes adsorbed onto or desorbed from a sample, and 2) by a chart recorder monitoring the analog output from the thermal conductivity detector.
