What Techniques are Used for Sampling in Catalysis?
Various techniques are employed for sampling in catalysis, depending on the type of reactor and the nature of the reaction:
- Manual Sampling: Involves manually withdrawing a sample using pipettes or syringes. It is suitable for batch reactors but can be disruptive. - Automated Sampling: Utilizes automated systems to periodically take samples without interrupting the process, ideal for continuous reactors. - In-line Sampling: Involves placing sensors or probes directly in the reaction stream to continuously monitor the reaction without extracting a physical sample.
