A Pulse Gas Chromatographic Method For Determining The Dispersion And Surface Area Of Co Oxidation Catalysts, Susan Kay Ohorodnik

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

Catalysts composed of platinum and/or palladium on tin(IV) oxide supports with or without silica gel have been developed for the recombination of carbon monoxide and oxygen to form carbon dioxide for use in carbon dioxide lasers. A pulse gas chromatographic method has been developed to measure the chemisorption properties of the catalysts. From the chemisorption measurements, the active surface area and dispersion of the catalysts have been determined.
