Symyx Heterogeneous Catalysis Workflows
- Significantly increase experiment productivity
- Scale down reagent use
- Maintain data quality
- Impregnation of supports
- Co-precipitation
- Sol-gel synthesis
- Solvent evaporation
- Hydrothermal techniques (including catalyst workup and recovery)
Experimental design and definition software allows for efficient reaction planning.
Execution software allows for integration with a huge number of third party analytical devices.
Available in many designs and scales from small-scale batch reactors for very high throughput to larger-scale fixed bed flow reactors for gas- or trickle-phase operation. These larger reactors come complete with on-line gas analysis and sample collection for liquids.
- Rapidly explore complex compositional phase spaces
- Prepare hundreds of samples per week with a wide range of automated synthesis tools available including tools for impregnation, coprecipitation, hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel synthesis and solvent evaporation
- Easily modify and rearrange elementary steps in a synthesis with flexible hardware and software
- Perform calcination, reduction and other pretreatments (ex situ and in situ)
- Complete mechanical treatments such as grinding, pilling, sizing
- Carry out washing and ion exchanging
- Analyze samples by XRD, SEM, EDS, BET, XRF, and ICP by integrating third party hardware as part of a workflow
- Rapidly explore complex process phase spaces
- Screen 24–96 samples simultaneously in a parallel liquid phase batch reactor at up to1500 psi and 450ºC
- Screen 48 samples simultaneously in a multi-channel fixed bed reactor with full product analysis and mass balance, along with pressures up to 2000 psi, temperatures up to 650ºC, a reaction zone temperature accuracy of +/-.5ºC, and a flow split accuracy of <1% RSD
