The use of the celebration at the university of bath, dynamic reaction monitoring facilities
Sustainable chemical technology center at the university of bath (CSCT) recently celebrated its dynamic response monitoring facilities (DReaM) enabled.
Dynamic reaction monitoring facilities is a unique equipment, specifically for real-time analysis of complex chemical reaction.This will help scientists to a series of application for the future development of new and better catalysts, including the manufacturing of high performance of biodegradable plastic, the production of hydrogen from water and synthesis of paracetamol from the abandoned citrus fruits.
A deeper understanding of the working principle of the catalyst
The device by the university of bath and the UK engineering and physical sciences research council (EPSRC) jointly funded, researchers can directly understand a reaction that produces a way of chemical compounds.This knowledge is the key to optimize product yield, at the same time, to reduce energy consumption and minimize waste.
In addition to a deeper understanding of the existing processes is how to happen, the researchers will also use the facilities the development of new catalyst, which lead to complex chemical reaction molecules.In response to sustainable energy, alleviate greenhouse gas, air and water pollutants of destruction as well as food and crop waste can be converted to valuable products to major global challenges such as plays an important role.
Scientists are close cooperation with industrial partners, including brooke, alliance, to further develop the research methods and instruments, to provide relevant industrial challenge to Suggestions, and promote the research results have a positive impact.
Infrastructure is the core of brooke's 500 MHZ nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, equipped with a nitrogen cooling Prodigy low temperature probe.InsightMR ™ flow tube used in the reaction mixture into the spectrometer, to detect and quantify nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) active species.Prodigy low temperature probe can be in to 40 ° C to 80 ° C temperature for use, can be observed 15 n to 31 p and 1 h, 2 h and 19 f nuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) activity.
Lab is equipped with a tablecloth Luke micrOTOF - Q mass spectrometer, used to obtain the precise quality data of molecules in solution, which helps to obtain no (or few) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) active element compounds existing in the supplementary information.
