Catalysis in Flow: Investigating Catalyst Deactivation and Leaching

催化剂从固体载体中浸出是一个非常重要的问题，需要在任何催化过程商业化之前解决。在之前提交的提案中，我们描述了一个串联流动反应器系统，用于在连续流动条件下检查和量化催化剂的原位浸出。在这个具体的项目将旨在测量和量化催化剂浸出和失活，试图了解这一重要的催化现象。这项工作将包括在一段时间内（或两个不同的时间尺度）持续监测催化剂的性能。催化剂结构的基本变化可以用Operando光谱学来研究。该项目将允许在工作条件下现场观察催化剂失活和浸出，提供基本的见解和工艺参数，这对于在连续流下扩大催化规模非常重要。战略主题：制造业的未来。研究方向：分析科学，物理科学，催化

Catalyst leaching from a solid support is very important issue that needs to be address before any catalytic process can be commercialised.In a previously submitted proposal, we have described a tandem flow reactor system to examine and quantify catalyst leaching in situ under continuous flow conditions. In this specific project will be aim to measure and quantify both catalyst leaching and deactivation, in an attempt to understand this important catalytic phenomenon. The work will involve continuous monitoring of catalyst performance over time (or two different time scales). Fundamental changes in the catalyst structure can be interrogated by Operando spectroscopy. This project will allow catalyst deactivation and leaching to be observed in situ under working conditions, to afford fundamental insights as well as process parameters that are important for scale-up of catalysis under continuous flow.Strategic Themes: Manufacturing the Future.
