Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The aim of the proposed research programme is to establish a centre of expertise in the application of NMR to diffusion, reaction and flow problems of relevance too, and for use by, the UK academic process engineering community. There exist three themes to the programme:i) To consolidate and extend our expertise in the application of spectroscopy, PGSE and imaging NMR techniques to studies of adsorption and transport in porous solids, as well as to the characterisation of porous media in general. These studies will be performed in parallel with numerical modelling studies of the same phenomena, with particular emphasis on the optimisation of selectivity in adsorption-based separations and catalysts processes. We will also increase the time allocated to the in-situ study of catalytic processes and deactivation phenomena.ii) To study flowing systems. Studies will include transport in packed beds, soils and chromatographic columns, foam drainage and the flow of concentrated suspensions.iii) To study the effect of processing on product microstructure, with particular application in the food industry and materials processing. Probes offering special environments for in-situ study of particular processing operations will be constructed.
