Simultaneous Analysis of Gas Phase and Intermediates in the Hydrogenation of Carbon Oxides by DRIFTS

Abstract
In this work the experimental details and some examples of applications of diffuse reflectance infrared technique are described. Special interest has been devoted to a correct determination of the temperature of the sample, to gas-phase analysis, and to quantitative aspects in a DRIFTS controlled environmental cell. Applications to the analysis of the gas phase during catalytic hydrogenation and to the obtainment of kinetic parameters for the catalytic decomposition of adsorbates are included.
