What are the Common Non Destructive Analysis Techniques in Catalysis?
Several NDA techniques are widely used in catalysis, each offering unique advantages:
X-ray Diffraction (XRD): XRD is used to determine the crystal structure and phase composition of catalysts. Raman Spectroscopy: This technique provides information on molecular vibrations, identifying chemical bonds and functional groups. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: NMR offers insights into the molecular structure and dynamics of catalysts. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy: FTIR is used to identify chemical bonds and functional groups within the catalyst. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): TEM provides high-resolution images of catalyst morphology and particle size distribution.
