A novel CVD/CVI reactor with an in-situ sampling apparatus connected to an online GC/MS

چکیده
Spatially resolved analysis of the composition of the gas-phase during chemical vapor deposition depends on an effective sampling apparatus. In the present work, a novel in-situ sampling and cooling apparatus was presented, which is connected directly to an online GC/MS. Simulations of the temperature distribution in the cooling apparatus show that sample gas can be cooled down to 600 K in short time, resulting in a gas-phase composition quench. This device was employed to analyze gas-phase composition resulting from the pyrolysis of methane. Experiments were carried out at an oven temperature of 1150 °C to investigate the composition along the axis of a tubular reactor. Flow fields of the tubular reactor were predicted numerically neglecting volume changes due to chemical reactions involved in methane decomposition. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In the first part of two section paper, a mathematical model of the fluidized bed reactor in the presence of in-situ water adsorbent for methanol synthesis is assessed. The bubbling two-phase regime is applied to model the fluidization concept. The binary adsorbent and catalyst particles system can be separated from each other based on their density difference. The heavy catalyst particles tend...

متن کاملAn innovative online VFA monitoring system for the anerobic process, based on headspace gas chromatography.
A new method for online measurement of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in anerobic digesters has been developed based on headspace gas chromatography (HSGC). The method applies ex situ VFA stripping with variable headspace volume and gas analysis by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID). In each extraction, digester sample was acidified with H(3)PO(4) and NaHSO(4), then heated to st...
