(6)Dissolution of the Support and Solvent Extraction
原理:
after the dissolution of the support with a strong acid, the coke is extracted with different solvents,然后采用GC、MS等进行分析洗脱物。
缺点:the coke could be modified during this procedure
常采用的溶剂
(7)Neutron Scattering and Attenuation可提供信息:
measure coke content and C/H ratio
优点:
This technique has the advantage that the coke content and therefore the coke profile along the catalyst bed, can be measured in-situ.(8)Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
提供信息:
- The NMR technique is a powerful technique to investigate the nature of carbonaceous deposits
- detect bindings between aromatic rings, alkyl fragments, and even tertiary carbenium ion-like species.
缺点:The information provided by NMR is not quantitative.
种类:
also used to study HY zeolites coked with n-heptane
This technique has been used to study coke location on zeolite catalysts
(9)Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES)
Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) was used in combination with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to distinguish between four types of carbonaceous deposits, on metal foils (rhodium, iridium and platinum). The foils were coked by exposing to ethylene at low pressure. Auger spectroscopy can distinguish between molecular or carbidic on the one hand, and graphitic or amorphous carbon on the other.
(10)X-Ray diffraction (XRD)Coke structure can be characterized by X-Ray diffraction analysis. This technique makes it possible to determine if there is coke with crystalline structure on the catalyst.缺点:the sensitivity of this type of determination is rather low,being it difficult to determine the fraction and/or amount of coke in the crystalline form.(11)Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS)SIMS is among the few surface sensitive techniques which are capable of detecting hydrogen content of the deposits. It has been used in combination with AES to analyse coke on metal foils
缺点:
However, it was not possible to obtain the real H/C ratio of the carbon deposit
(12)Sorption Capacity: Surface Area and Pore Volume
原理:
Adsorption measurements allow the determination of coke location. When the volume occupied by coke is much smaller than the volume inaccessible to adsorbates, it means that there is a pore blockage.
缺点:
However, in many cases the adsorption study is carried out at a different temperature than the reaction, and therefore diffusivity could be quite different. Another aspect that should be taken into account is that if the pretreatment for adsorption measurement requires temperatures higher than the reaction temperature, an important fraction of carbonaceous deposits could be stripped off the catalyst and, therefore, the pore volume measured in this way will be higher than the actual volume under reaction conditions.
(13)X-Ray Photo-electron Spectroscopy (XPS)
(14)Ultra Violet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS)
The UV-VIS spectroscopy can be used to determine the chemical identity of the coke componentes. UV-VIS, unlike NMR and IR, can easily detect alkyl and alkenyl carbenium ions, essentially due to its much higher sensitivity55. This is usually carried out under vaccum, and therefore, the more volatile compounds could be lost under these conditions.
(15)Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR)
The EPR (or ESR) technique allows the study of the radicals that accompany the coke formation, and thus estimate roughly the amount of coke and obtain information regarding its nature.
One of the advantages of this technique, is that it can be used both under static or under on-stream conditions.
(16)Coke Formation Rate
The amount of coke that is being deposited on a catalyst has been traditionally followed with conventional microbalances. However, due to the inherent limitations of this equipment, in which it is almost impossible to avoid feed by-pass effect and diffusional effects, this technique has not been very useful to determine coking kinetics as a function of feed composition. A recycle electrobalance reactor has been designed to avoid this undesirable effect。
