Gas adsorption on catalysts and adsorbents using a quartz tube reactor on a Calvet type DSC

Introduction
The investigation of gas adsorption on catalysts and more generally solid adsorbents requires a very good
interaction between the reactive gas and the powder. The Calvet-type DSC offers the main advantage to work
with an open tube detection. This configuration allows the adaptation of different types of experimental crucibles,
especially with the possibility of introduction of various types of gas under normal or high pressure. The quartz
tube reactor is one option for the applications on catalysts, and more generally for all the adsorption
investigations. It makes possible the simulation of the use of a plug-flow fixed bed reactor in heterogeneous
catalysis.
