The laboratory is a part of Catalyst Department.

Research range of the laboratory: studies on kinetics of many processes using heterogenous catalysts; analysis of catalytic reaction products; preparation of full characteristics of catalyst physicochemical properties, including:

Research work

• structure of crystalline materials,
• texture of catalyst specific and active surface,
• processes of reduction, oxidation and desorption from catalyst surface,
• sorption processes on solids’ surface up to 50 bar,
• kinetics of catalytic reactions: methane steam reforming, CO shift conversion, carbon oxide methanation, ammonia synthesis, methanol synthesis, benzene hydrogenation, nitrous oxide decomposition, hydrogenation processes in liquid phase.

Analysis of

• composition of commercial gases,
• very low contents of sulfur compounds in gases,
• fatty acids,
• other compounds connected with natural gas and synthesis gas processing.
