Background Temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) is a versatile materials characterisation tool used in catalysis for the elucidation of surface chemistry in catalytic materials. The underlying principle of the technique is simple, hydrogen or oxygen are passed over...
Background Chemisorption, as opposed to physisorption, is a strong interaction between the adsorbed molecule and the surface of the molecule of the active site. Pyridine is a base molecule that strongly interacts and chemisorbs over the acid sites of studied...
Problem A customer aimed to improve the activity and stability of an industrial catalyst establishing understanding relationships between the catalyst recipe, its structure, and performance. Which analysis? Stoli studied coordination and oxidation state of the active...
Problem A leading European research institution required manufacturing 10 kg of bespoke catalyst for a pilot test. The catalyst preparation procedure was based on a 10 g laboratory-scale process that required developing a scale-up approach. Is the 10 kilo scale a...
