Development of a technology to directly analyze the reactions on catalyst surfaces under actual process conditions - Contributing to research and development of catalysts aimed at achieving carbon neutrality, such as in fuel synthesis reactions.

Our company (hereinafter referred to as "TRC") has become the first domestic contract analysis company to offer high-sensitivity analysis services for catalyst surfaces in catalytic reactions under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, particularly mimicking actual processes, using infrared spectroscopy.
A catalyst is a substance that facilitates a chemical reaction without changing itself before and after the reaction. To improve the performance of a catalyst, it is important to investigate how substances adsorb and react on the catalyst's surface.
TRC has made it possible to analyze catalytic reactions under controlled conditions at high temperatures and pressures (up to 700°C and 10 MPa) by using a special diffusion reflection infrared spectroscopy cell that can withstand high pressure, along with circulating reaction gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This enables the investigation of synthesis reactions for liquid hydrocarbons, which can serve as alternative fuels, under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions that mimic actual processes.
In addition to optimizing the reaction conditions of catalysts, insights into reaction mechanisms can also be obtained, which is expected to contribute to the design, development, and improvement of catalysts that are crucial for achieving carbon neutrality.
