Molecular Beam Mass Spectrometric Investigation of the Catalytic PartialOxidation of Methane at High Pressures. Final Report, October 1, 1991-November 2, 1993

摘要

New techniques for the identification and measurement of species sorbed on asurface and at a gas-solid interface were investigated. These techniques, which utilize molecular beam mass spectrometry and laser desorption, are applicable to systems at elevated temperatures and pressures. A special reactor system was designed and tested and was integrated with a Nd:YAG laser and a high resolution molecular beam mass spectrometric system. Limited demonstrated experiments, including some with catalysts used for catalytic partial oxidation of methane, were performed. These experiments suggest that these techniques will be useful for the study of heterogeneous catalysis and various interface phenomena.
