Method and apparatus for the execution of catalyzed chemical reactions and for the catalysis research.

摘要

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for carrying out and studying catalysis and catalyzed chemical reactions. A reactor (2) has a catalyst zone, under vacuum, into which a very rapid pulse of reactant gas is pulsed through a high speed valve (3). The products are analyzed by a real-time method of analysis, such as by means of a mass spectrometer (13). The apparatus and method can detect reaction intermediates and products, and can indicate their sequence of production.
