Catalysts Ceramics Energy Carbon Pharma autosorb Series automated gas sorption analyzer surface area, pore size, and chemisorption Instrument appearance and colors subject to change. GAS SORPTION 2 Analysis Flexibility No two applications are the same and so a variety of physisorption measurement types are included to optimize data point spacing in the measured iso - therm according to pore size and pore volume. And since some users prefer the classical helium void volume method and others helium-free analyses, both techniques are at the disposal of the operator. Advanced analytical techniques that require scanning the isotherm hysteresis loop, or pore size distribution of thin films using krypton gas, or the largest available library of density functional theory (DFT ) calcula- tions, are accommodated as standard features. Customizable for H igher Throughput By offering 2- and 3-station versions, the Autosorb iQ represents a huge improvement in sample throughput. This is most evident when properly analyzing micro- porous materials in detail. These notoriously slow measurements (because of restricted diffusion of gases at the very low pressures required for analysis) have, in the past, been the cause of many laboratory bottle necks. Simultaneous analysis of up to three samples, each using their own dedicated sets of pressure trans- ducers, effectively triples throughput and capacity without sacrificing the quality of the results. For busy industrial labs doing high throughput surface area and mesopore analyses, the economic benefits of the increased capacity are dramatic. Even the chemi- sorption models are available with up to three physi- sorption stations. Superior Performance For Today, Combined With Future Flexibility Operator Convenience All instrument operations are accessed through the Windows®-based software program. Fully custom- izable analysis parameters can be set up ahead of time and recalled as often as one likes. So too can degassing protocols. Reconfiguring the instrument, between physisorption and chemisorption modes, takes mere seconds. The unit is sized to comfortably fit on a standard laboratory bench with all electrical and gas connections to the side, rather than to the rear, for easier access. An optional rolling cart is available if greater mobility is desired or bench space is limited. Technical Excellence Electronic pressure transducers form the core of the instrument; among them, ceramic diaphragm capaci- tance types offer superior stability at lower pressures. The high vacuum system of the MP and XR micropore/ chemisorption models is mounted internally and features a 90,000 rpm turbo-molecular pump backed by a dry diaphragm pump ‡. A constant, small cold zone (physisorption mode) is achieved by using the proven coolant level sensing system. Interruptions to the analysis are minimized by virtue of a dedicated P 0 (saturation pressure) transducer on the P 0 cell. Metal- to-metal seals for critical fittings in the measurement zones ensure the best possible vacuum performance. The XR model’s 0.1 torr transducer extends physisorp- tion measurement capability into the 10 -8 P/Po range ( N 2 / 77K). ‡ EPDM and Viton units only. The Autosorb iQ has been designed to be the most flexible, versatile, and customizable gas sorption analyzer on the market. You can purchase the requirements for your laboratory’s needs today, but have the confidence that the instrument has the ability to expand to meet your laboratory’s future analysis needs, without having to purchase an entirely new instrument.

Instrument appearance and colors subject to change. autosorb automated gas sorption analyzer surface area, pore size, chemisorption 5 Autosorb iQ-C-MP / C-XR Ideal for breakthrough and pioneering research, where maximum analytical capability is essential, and bench space is at a premium. This is the only combined chemisorption physisorption manometric analyzer that features four built-in degassing stations and up to three physisorption stations for enhanced analysis throughput. The optional TCD gives this model unparalleled capabilities in the field. Indeed, this model is unrivaled in catalyst characteriza- tion capability: One moment it’s a rapid surface area and pore size analyzer, the next it is measuring active metal area and dispersion, and even temperature programmed desorption (TPD), oxidation (TPO), reduction and / or reaction (TPR) analyses. Second and third physisorption stations are available in match- ing MP or XR configurations, or the simpler AG configuration. High chemical compatibility version features PFE valves and O-rings and turbo pump backed by oil pump for maximum chemical resistance. Autosorb iQ-C-AG Chemisorption and physisorption capable instrument providing versatility and flexibility of analysis. The iQ-C-AG series includes chemisorption hardware and software capabilities, such as a pro - grammable high temperature (1100 oC) furnace to enable more demanding sample treatments and analyses with more reactive gases (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ammonia) and, optionally, condensible vapors. Available with a second AG (surface area/ mesopore) physisorption station. Applications Ideally suited for the most comprehensive physiochemical characterization of the surface and porous structure of discrete solid materials. In particular, this fully integrated analyzer is extensively used in the fields of heterogeneous catalyst and catalyst support R&D and for high throughput and innovative analyses of novel battery and solar energy materials, chemicals and petrochemicals, gas stor- age, purification and sequestration, semiconductor and membrane develop- ment, and general industrial and acade- mic research programs for which the most powerful yet simple instrumenta- tion can simultaneously solve problems and uncover new opportunities for porous solid materials. Applications The chemisorption capabilities provide more detailed and key performance in- formation about the activity, selectivity, stability, and regeneration of convention- al heterogeneous catalysts and catalyst supports. This enables users to investi- gate ways to tailor the structure and properties, and thus optimize the perfor - mance and cost, of materials including transition and precious metal catalysts exhibiting strong, weak, dissociative and spillover adsorption modes on specific active surface sites, including acidic and basic sites on metal oxides. Tailored Performance For Your Application autosorb automated gas sorption analyzer surface area, pore size, chemisorption 6 Measurement Capabilities & Applications State-of-the-Art Building on the reputation of the Autosorb name, the iQ represents a major leap forward in gas sorption measurement technology, providing materials science researchers with a highly sophisticated platform to confidently tackle any pore size, surface area or catalyst characterization problem encountered in QC and R&D applications alike. For BET Surface Area: Physisorption The Autosorb iQ can determine total BET surface area with remarkable sensitivity. Multi-point or single point measurements can be performed. Surface area of 0.01 m 2/g and upwards can be determined using nitrogen (at liquid nitrogen temperature) or argon (at liquid argon temperature) in MP & XR models. Using krypton at liquid nitrogen temp- erature, surface areas down to 0.0005 m 2/g can be measured due to the added sensitivity. The ASiQwin software automatically displays the BET plot and computes the BET “C” constant, y- intercept, slope, and correlation coefficient of the least-squares best fit. In addition, the Micropore BET Assistant function enables the user with the click of a button to determine the correct linear BET range for a microporous material based on published criteria. Chemisorption Some surfaces, especially catalysts, are sufficiently reactive to form chemical bonds with certain gases. In contrast to physisorption, chemical adsorption (chemisorption) involves the formation of strong bonds between adsorbate molecules and specific surface locations known as active sites. Chemisorption is thus used primarily to evaluate quantitatively the number of surface active sites which are likely to promote (catalyze) chemical reactions. Both static adsorption isotherms and dynamic pulse titrations yield monolayer uptake, metal area, nanocluster (crystallite) size and active metal area of heterogeneous catalysts. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide are the two most commonly employed gases. Oxygen or other gases are sometimes suitable. In an analogous manner, the amount of acidic or basic sites is determined from the adsorption of a basic or acidic gas, such as ammonia or carbon dioxide, respectively. Isothermal results can be used to map surface energetic heterogeneity via heat of adsorption calculations. Gas Sorption Physisorption, or physical adsorption, is the process by which gas and vapor atoms and molecules are adsorbed onto the surface of a solid and which relies on weak attractive forces, usually measured at cryogenic temperatures. It is also the experimental means by which one can quantify the surface area of a solid, its pore size and pore volume distribution. Chemisorption, or chemical adsorption, is the process of gas sorption to specific sites through the formation of chemical bonds. It is the experimental means by which one measures active metal area, and related properties, of catalysts, usually at much higher temperatures than physisorption measurements. Measurement Sensitivity The sensitivity of a physisorption analysis using the manometric technique, relying on pressure changes in the sample cell to define the sorbed amounts, is higher when the volume around the sample, the so called free- space or void volume, is as small as is practicably possible, most importantly the cold free space/void volume, since volume for volume it contains more (unadsorbed) gas molecules than the equivalent warm space. That is ensured by accurately controlling the level of cryogenic coolant around the sample cell so as to immerse as little as is necessary for analysis. The highest quality chemisorption measurements are no less demanding, and are equivalently achieved by intelligent hardware integration. autosorb automated gas sorption analyzer surface area, pore size, chemisorption 7 The transparent blue door encloses the physisorption station for additional safety and improved temperature control. As the coolant evaporates, the level sensor signals the Dewar drive to compensate for the change in level, thereby maintaining a constant and small cold zone. Coolant level controlled here creates a small cold zone. The iQ features a 3 liter Dewar as standard. The LN 2 life of the Dewar is 90+ hours . Longer- Life Dewar iQ = Intelligence With Enhanced Physisorption Sensitivity Small Cold Zone For Increased Sensitivity Coolant level controlled here creates a large cold zone. Other instruments Autosorb-iQ Cabinet L evel Sensor Sample Cell 90 + h Dewar Coolant Drive Shaft Dewar Support Arm Measurements at lower absolute pressures can also be very effective, and this is why krypton (whose saturation pressure at liquid nitrogen temperature is approximately 1/ 30 0 th that of nitrogen at the same temperature) is often employed when measuring extremely low surface areas (less than one square meter total for example). The amount of unadsorbed gas is also a function of the temperature of the free space: the higher it is the fewer molecules it contains for a given pressure, and the lower it is the more molecules are present at the same pressure. In any manometric instrument part of the free space is “warm” (not in coolant), and part is “cold” (submerged in coolant). Therefore it is advantageous to minimize the volume of free space that is cold, since every cm 3 at liquid nitrogen temperature (77.4K) contains almost four times as many unadsorbed molecules as every cm 3 does around room temperature (e.g. 298K). It is true that for any cell ge - ometry more of it should be warm and less should be cold for maximum sensitivity. The sensitivity of a manometric sorption analyzer depends on the internal volume of the measurement zone (free space) and how many adsorbate molecules remain unadsorbed. The goal always therefore is to minimize the amount of unadsorbed gas occupying the free space. For example, filler rods that occupy the stem portion of the sample cell are commonly employed. Additionally the bulbous portion of the sample cell can be selected to minimize the free space, consistent with the bulk volume of the sample and its adsorption capacity. autosorb automated gas sorption analyzer surface area, pore size, chemisorption 8 Flow Chemisorption For Advanced Catalyst Characterization (Autosorb iQ-C with TCD) Many heterogeneous catalysts are used as the zero-valent metal, but start life as the oxide. An important factor in catalyst design and use is the ease of reduction of the metal oxide and TPR is a direct measure of that. A reducing gas mixture, say 2%-5% H 2 in N 2, flowing over the oxide will cause reduction at some point as the temperature is raised using a linear heating ramp. The signal caused by consumption of hydrogen represents the rate of reaction and goes through a maximum at a temperature that is characteristic of both the oxide and the heating rate. Repeating the same analysis on a fresh sample at a different heating rate is the means by which activation energy for the process can be evaluated. Low loadings of metal oxides, especially surface oxides, generate little water and a successful analysis can be done with- out trapping it. Larger amounts of moisture generated by the reduction of bulk oxides can be trapped prior to reaching the detector to leave a clean signal based solely on the change in hydrogen concentration. Industrial Catalysts (eg., Hydrocracking, Hydrodesulfurization, Hydrodenitrogenation and Fischer-Tropsch) Carbons and carbides are amenable to evaluation by careful oxidation while being heated. A stream of diluted oxygen (e.g. 2-10% O 2 in He) directed over the sample during a linear heating ramp generates a signal due to the loss of O 2 from the gas stream. The products of oxidation, CO and CO 2 , need not be trapped. The specially chosen filaments used in the Autosorb iQ TCD detector are resistant to oxidation and operate normally in the suggested gas mixtures. Different forms of carbon such as amorphous, nanotube, filament and graphitic, oxidize at different temperatures due to varying availability of reactive carbon-carbon bonds. In this way, fullerenes, soots, cokes on catalysts, etc., can be quickly characterized and differentiated. Oxidation catalysts, e.g. those incorporating chromium, cobalt, copper and manganese, and redox supports like ceria and titania can also be characterized by TPO. Carbons, Fuel Cells, Electrodes, etc. S pecies previously adsorbed can be desorbed into a stream of pure carrier gas to generate a characteristic fingerprint. One very common application is ammonia TPD, by which one can evaluate relative acid site strength of, for example, zeolites. Basic sites can similarly be evaluated b y TPD of carbon dioxide. Some materials may be characterized by decomposition, or dissociation, of the bulk solid, not merely by desorption from the surface. Such examples include carbonates resulting from CO 2 removal studies, hydrides used as potential hydrogen storage materials, etc. Zeolites (eg., FCC, Isomerization) This technique is used to determine a wide variety of reactive material properties, such as strong chemisorption uptake, active metal area, metal dispersion, and average nanocluster (crystallite) size. After suitable in-situ preparation, which may be combined with TPR/TPO, the sample is automatically titrated* with small, known volumes (pulses) of reactive gas. The detector senses the excess gas which does not react with the sample. The total volume of gas which does react with the sample is automatically determined by simple back calculation using TPRWin software. Supported Metals (Reforming, Partial Oxidation, Hydrogenation, Automotive Exhaust, etc.) * Requires loop injection option. TPD: Temperature Programmed Desorption TPR: Temperature Programmed Reduction TPO: Temperature Programmed Oxidation Pulse Titration: Quantitative Analysis autosorb automated gas sorption analyzer surface area, pore size, chemisorption 9 The Windows®-based comprehensive control, acquisi- tion, calculation and reporting software communi- cates with the analyzer via Ethernet, directly or via a LAN. A typical physisorption analysis starts with degass- ing of the sample. The desired protocol of heating rates, hold times and automatic readiness testing are loaded, and then the iQ takes over. After completing the timed protocol, or sooner if the residual pressure rise passes the user-defined test limit, the iQ shuts down the degasser, backfilling the sample cell or leaving it under vacuum if preferred. Analysis parameters can be recalled from a saved set, or freshly created, and can import the degassing details. You always have a choice of analyzing using the classical helium or, alternatively, He-free void volume methods. Request data at targeted relative pressure points, automatically supplemented during the run by additional “maximum delta volume sorbed” points (in regions of the isotherm that show steep up-take or desorption) or let them be acquired according to a fixed volume dosing algorithm called Vector Dose. When sorption takes place in large amounts and quickly, the popular Maxidose feature minimizes total analysis time. Hysteresis in physisorption isotherms can be “scanned” - that is, multiple ad/ desorption cycles over desired P/P 0 ranges can be programmed. Comprehensive physisorption calculations include specific surface area (single and multi-point BET, Langmuir, STSA, t-plot, alpha-s, DR), total pore volume and pore size distribution (BJH, DH, DA, MP, HK, SF, Monte-Carlo, NLDFT, QSDFT) with their corresponding surface area values, Kr pore size for thin films, heats of adsorption, plus NK and FHH fractals. The DFT library is the most inclusive available commercially, providing no less than twenty three mathematical models describing different pore shapes, chemical characteristics of the surfaces, and specific adsorbate and temperature pairs. Choose chemisorption parameters that include in- situ pretreatment, and a second (reversible) isotherm measurement, and combine multiple pretreatments and isotherm analysis conditions (different gases, different temperatures) into an extensive batch mode. Chemisorption results include metal area, dis- persion, nanocluster (crystallite) size, and monolayer capacity by a number of methods: extrapolation, Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin. Heats of chemisorp- tion are also available using manometric (static isotherm) data. Flow methods of analysis (with the TCD option) expand the range of measurements to include activation energy, quantitative TPD, TPO and TPR, with the ability to deconvolute over- lapping TPX peaks, and/or to identify effluent gases using an optional built-in mass spectrometer.
