Summary Describe the proposed research in about 200 words.The flux-response technique consists of measuring the outflow from a micro-reactor with a sensitive volumetric-flo meter. By using such a meter one does not have to wait for gases with changed composition etc. to leave the reacto Any change in volume caused by reaction or adsorption is detected immediately by the flow detector. Flux-analysis could be capable of cheap, quick, multiparameter analysis. Differential as well as integral operation is possible, allowing the determination of intrinsic rates as well as inhibition effects. Basic experiments have been completed and these will be extended by varying reactants, carrier-flow rate, catalyst, temperature etc. The initial reactio used will be methanol decomposition into carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
