New equipement

The high pressure reactor system was modified in such a way as to enable additional working modes by the inclusion of Carberry spinning basket high pressure reactor. The modified system also requires cooling unit in order to provide operation with carbon dioxide and similar very low boiling point solvents.

The overall system consists of the base module BTRS Jr units, Carberry reactor and the cooling unit, as shown below:

  • high pressure tubular reactor,
  • flow control,
  • pressure and temperature control,
  • possibility to operate with gasses and liquids,
  • broad p,T operating range up to 220 bar and 623 K,
  • Carberry spinning basket reactor, and
  • cooling unit to enable work with carbon dioxide and similar solvents.

Micromeritics’ ASAP® 2020 Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry Analyzer uses the gas sorption technique to generate high-quality data for research and quality control applications. Available options include the micropore option, the high-vac option, and the chemisorption option, which uses the static volumetric technique to determine the percent metal dispersion, active metal surface area, size of active particles, and surface acidity of catalyst materials. Data obtained by an ASAP® 2020 analyzer are used to achieve efficiency, safety, quality, and profitability in any modern materials-oriented work, and can be used by scientists with confidence and assurance.

Surface area and porosity are two important physical properties that determine the quality and utility of many materials. Differences in the surface area and porosity of particles within a material can greatly influence its performance characteristics. The all-new, fully automated ASAP 2020 Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry System is an essential tool for providing surface area and porosity measurements for a broad range of applications such as pharmaceuticals, ceramics, carbons, catalysts, paint & coatings, propellants, electronics, cosmetics, and aerospace materials. The ASAP 2020 makes it easy to obtain high-quality data for research and quality control applications. The system contains a multitude of data reduction methods and can be readily upgraded to perform micropore and chemisorption analyses. All options are designed to be integrated into the ASAP 2020 cabinet and require no additional bench space. Adsorption and desorption analyses using an extended range of adsorptives, including vapors, are also permitted. The ASAP 2020’s data reduction methods allow a very high level of versatility, with a wide variety of experimental data options. An automated thermal-vacuum degas station is available to provide the user with complete control of degassing, improve analytical results, and output a record of degassing parameters. The instrument also comes with a long-duration dewar, allowing long-term analyses to be completely automated without the need for refilling.

Features:

  • Two Independent vacuum systems that allow preparation and analysis to proceed concurrently
  • Oil-free “dry” vacuum option to prevent oil contamination
  • Two-station intelligent degas system for fully automated degassing with controlled heating time profiles
  • long-duration cryogen system for unattended analyses
  • Twelve gas inlets that are automatically selectable to allow for automated selection of pretreatment, backfill, and analysis gases, and the ability to connect to a mass spectrometer
