The application of INS to characterise activated carbon catalysts active for phosgene synthesis catalysis - TOSCA

Abstract: In a medium-term collaboration with industrial partners (Huntsman and SABIC), work has been underway in the University of Glasgow?s Chemical Process Fundamentals Laboratory to explore phosgene synthesis over activated carbon catalysts. This has led to the development of a reaction model that is consistent with experimental observables conducted under defined conditions. However, presently, advancement in securing more favourable catalytic performance is impeded by a poor understanding of classifying activated carbons, which are notoriously hard to characterise at the molecular level. However, INS is well placed in this role, so it is proposed to use INS to characterise reference microporous and mesoporous carbons that constitute candidate phosgene synthesis catalysts. This TOSCA application is linked to an associated MAPS proposal.
