We have recently completed studies using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) on the B18 beamline provided by the Diamond Light Source Facility. Here we spent an exciting 24 hours taking in-situ measurements to understand the behaviour the catalyst.
By analysing the X-ray signal we were able to determine the changes in chemical form of the active species of our customers’ catalyst over a range of temperatures at which the catalyst would normally operate.
For more information on this particular case study and how we may be able to help you with a similar problem please see the case study.

Plug flow (tubular) reactor
Tubular reactors (incorrectly, “plug flow”) – the simplest continuous reactors. See Daniel Lambden’s overview of the tubular reactors.
SABRe is available in Hastelloy
Stainless steel 316L is good in corrosive environments but halogens corrode it quickly. Nickel-based Hastelloy C 276 is much more stable.
Consistent oil-in-water emulsions in continuous flow
Using a continuous multi-CSTR system allowed us to make droplets 2.5 times more uniform compared to a batch reactor
How to calculate heat transfer in continuous flow applications
Continuous flow (such as micro-reactors) are superior for exothermic reactions. How do you compute the thermal performance of a reactor?
