What Techniques are Used for Monitoring Catalytic Processes?
Several techniques are employed to monitor catalytic processes:
Spectroscopy: Includes methods like UV-Vis, IR, and Raman spectroscopy, which provide information about the molecular structure and dynamics of reactants and products. Chromatography: Techniques such as GC (Gas Chromatography) and HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) are used to separate and analyze the components of a mixture. Mass Spectrometry: Offers detailed information about the molecular weight and structure of the chemical species involved in the reaction. Calorimetry: Measures the heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction, providing insights into the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics.
