The laboratory is equipped for the preparation of catalysts, nanoparticles and other materials and for carrying out thermal treatment under controlled atmospheres. There are also 3D-printing systems and mechanochemical synthesis apparatus for the preparation of catalysts. It has fixed bed reactors for continuous thermal reactions, batch reactors, photoreactors, membrane reactors, catalytic wall reactors and microreactors. It also has complete reaction systems with on-line product analysis by mass spectrometry and gas chromatography. There is also a FTIR spectrometer for the follow-up of reactions at a given pressure and temperature, and TPR/TPO/TPD systems to study redox characteristics and solid adsorption. In addition, it benefits from the advanced characterization techniques of the Barcelona Research Center in Multiscale and Technology. |
