PRODUCT DATA SHEET ICCS – In-situ Catalyst Characterization System from Micromeritics Above photo shows the ICCS with the Effi Microreactor from PID Eng. & Tech (a Micromeritics company) The ICCS is a new instrument that complements the MicroActivity Effi and brings new capabilities to users. The ICCS adds two new capabilities – Temperature Programmed Analyses (TPx) and Pulse Chemisorption. These well-known and time-tested techniques may now be performed on a fresh catalyst and then performed on a used catalyst without the need to remove the material from the reactor. Users benefit from obtaining both temperature programmed analyses and pulse chemisorption data for the same aliquot of sample used for their reaction studies. Performing these analyses in situ virtually eliminates the possibility of contamination from atmospheric gases which may damage the active catalyst. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The typical operation of the ICCS begins with loading of the catalyst into the reactor. The catalyst may then be characterized by the temperature programmed methods; temperature programmed reduction is commonly used for supported metal catalysts and temperature programmed desorption may be the best choice for acidic or basic catalysts. The temperature programmed analysis is often followed by pulse chemisorption to determine the number of active sites. This use of TPx and pulse titration provides a description of the fresh (unused) catalyst at reaction conditions (ex. Pressure). After performing this initial characterization, a user may then proceed with their reaction studies on the exact same material which was previous characterized without the need to add any additional catalyst or transport the catalyst to a different device. Upon deactivation, the used catalyst may then be analyzed in a similar manner to the fresh material employing temperature programmed analyses and pulse chemisorption at the same reaction pressure. This strategy provides a method for comparing the catalyst and the number of active sites before and after use. This allows the researcher to obtain this critical information without the need to remove the catalyst from the reactor
