Porous Inorganic Catalytic Films and Membranes For Pollution Remova l Applications

Deliverables

Reactor for testing catalysts in the form of thin films supported on stainless steel or metal plates. The reactor enables testing these catalysts after deposition on the plates. A variable number of plates with the catalyst deposited on their surface can be introduced in the reactor. This is a good option for substituting the conventional U-shape reactors used in laboratories for testing the performance of powder catalysts. A reactor have been designed and constructed where catalyst samples consisting of metal plates with the catalyst deposited on their surface can be tested. This reactor can be fitted in the same experimental set-up used for testing catalyst in powder form. It has the advantage that the catalysts can be tested in their final form of application. This type of reactor can be of much use for academic and industrial laboratories aiming the characterisation of the performance of catalyst samples used for decontamination processes (car catalysts and other exhaust catalytic systems)
Reactor for testing catalysts used for the removal of gases for exhaust systems of burning installations. The reactor enables testing these catalysts under conditions similar (flow rate, etc.) to those found in real installations. The reactor permit one to test these catalysts with a minimum consumption of gases, providing conditions very similar to those found in real exhaust systems of medium or small burning installations. A re-circulating reactor have been designed and constructed where catalyst can be tested under conditions similar to those found in real exhaust systems. The reactor has a re-circulating configuration that minimises the consumption of gases. It can be considered and intermediate pilot plant for testing of catalyst and/or processes developed for removal of pollutant gases produced fuel combustion plants, incinerators, etc. Parameters as flow rate, amount and type of presentation of catalyst, temperature, etc. can be modified for a proper evaluation of the performance of catalysts under similar conditions than in real facilities.
