What are the Common Types of Sensors Used in Catalysis?
The type of sensor used depends on the specific requirements of the catalytic process. Common types of sensors include:
1. Thermocouples: Used for measuring temperature. 2. Pressure Sensors: Essential for monitoring the pressure within the reaction vessel. 3. Mass Spectrometers: Used for analyzing the composition of gases and vapors in the reaction. 4. Gas Chromatographs: Help in identifying and quantifying different compounds in the reaction mixture. 5. pH Sensors: Important for reactions where the acidity or basicity affects catalytic performance.
