Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Describe the proposed research in about 200 words.During a current EPSRC grant we have successfully developed an apparatus and measured some flux responses of heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Concurrently, one of us has developed a model to describe the flux response of a catalytic micro reactor. The flux response is the minute flowrate changes caused by adsorption, reaction and desorption processes within the system. The present proposal aims to confirm the model and to measure the relevant parameters of industrially important systems, particularly ammonia decomposition and n-heptane isomerisation, for which the method is particularly well suited. This will show that the flux response technique can be used, maybe with other techniques, to gain additional information on catalytic systems and to predict reactor behaviour
