Project description
A flexible multisorp equipment (variable pressure, temperature, gas selection) for the characterization of a large variety of adsorbents and catalysts. The high pressure physisorption mode allows for the determination of the sorption capacity of adsorbents (e.g. methane, CO2, H2). The dynamic chemisorption mode allows for temperature programmed desorption, reduction, oxidation to characterize the active surface of catalysts.
