Rapid analysis of SO₂ to determine catalyst efficiency

A catalyst is a chemical substance that provides an alternative reaction with lower activation energy and increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed (unlike reagents, which are consumed during the reaction).

Catalysts help reducing the time that a process normally takes to occur. 

The analytical system which is described in the attachment is used both for continuous monitoring and for on-site catalyst analysis and it includes a Fusion micro gas chromatograph. The Fusion MICRO-GC quantifies the change in reagent concentration during the reaction in less than 60 seconds.

Micro GC Fusion is portable and this makes it possible to minimize sample and time losses, caused by the need to send samples to the laboratory.
