Chemisorption Analyser

Reveals adsorption–reaction synergy and captures transient intermediates for mechanistic insight.

brochure Request
quote

Chemisorption and thermal desorption methods, such as Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD), are widely utilized for catalyst characterization. These techniques analyze the gases released from a catalyst surface, typically detected using a Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) or, in some cases, a mass spectrometer. While they provide valuable insights into the number and strength of active sites, they do not reveal details about the nature of these sites, the type of adsorption, or the presence of multiple adsorption site types.

To address this limitation, the AMI-300 IR integrates standard AMI techniques with real-time catalyst surface analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. This innovative approach enables direct observation of adsorbed species, offering a deeper understanding of the adsorption and desorption processes.

The AMI-300 IR expands upon AMI’s line of catalyst characterization instruments, which have been continuously developed and manufactured since 1984. By integrating real-time Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with AMI’s standard detection methods, this system enables researchers to not only quantify the number and strength of active sites but also gain direct insights into the nature of adsorption processes.

Key Features

IR detection can also be used during pulse chemisorption procedures to ascertain the mode(s) of adsorption at different coverages. Figure 8 illustrates the adsorption of CO on platinum as the coverage increases. Even at low coverages, all the CO is adsorbed in a single mode, linearly, and there is no evidence for “bridged” CO. These insights are uniquely obtainable through IR spectroscopy, as it directly analyzes the catalyst surface rather than solely monitoring evolved gases.

Differentiation

Ammonia can be used as a probe molecule to determine the magnitude and type of acid sites in a catalyst. Below, in figure 9, is an example of ammonia adsorbed on a silica-alumina material. Three broad bands were identified as belonging to the adsorbed ammonia, at approximately 1760, 1480, and 1380 cm^-1. The band at 1480 cm^-1 can be ascribed to ammonia adsorbed on Brønsted acid sites, the others to ammonia adsorbed on Lewis sites (see for example, M. Niwa et al., J. Phys. Chem. B, 110 (2006) p. 264). By carrying out temperature programmed experiments and following the absorbance of the three bands as a function of temperature, it is possible to measure the isobars for each type of adsorption and assess the strength of each adsorption process. These isobars are shown in figure 10.

Ammonia bands on silica-alumina shown at three different temperatures

Isobars for each of the three main ammonia bands on silica-alumina.

It can be seen from the data above that the adsorption reflected in the 1380 cm-1 band is more strongly held than the other two, perhaps indicating a stronger Lewis-type bond.

quote

The AMI-300 SSITKA is a high-performance chemisorption analyzer integrated with Steady-State Isotopic Transient Kinetic Analysis (SSITKA) capabilities. Compared to conventional chemisorption analyzers, the AMI-300 SSITKA employs SSITKA technology to enable in-depth investigation of catalyst reaction mechanisms and properties. The instrument rapidly switches the isotopic composition of a reactant within the reaction system while monitoring the relaxation dynamics of labeled products in real time. This methodology facilitates precise analysis of reaction mechanisms, measurement of kinetic parameters, catalyst characterization, and differentiation of parallel reaction pathways.

AMI-300 SSITKA Functions:

• Steady-State Isotopic Transient Kinetic Analysis (SSITKA)
• Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD)
• Temperature-Programmed Reduction/Oxidation (TPR/O)
• Temperature-Programmed Surface Reaction (TPSR)
• Pulse Chemisorption
• Dynamic BET
• Vapor Dosing (option)

The AMI-300 SSITKA distinguishes itself through its SSITKA experimental capability, which initiates isotopic switching only after the reaction system reaches steady-state conditions. For elements with negligible isotope effects (predominantly non- hydrogen systems), the instrument enables isotope tracing while maintaining continuous steady-state operation, achieving non-invasive in situ analysis. This methodology provides real-time tracking of surface active sites, quantifies intermediate species lifetimes, and resolves dynamic evolution of reaction pathways without perturbing catalytic processes.

Key Features

High-precision MFCs with flow rates from 2-100 sccm.

High-Stability Programmed Temperature Reaction System

Engineered with precision temperature control up to 1200°C, this system achieves linear heating rates from 0.1 to 50°C/min with ±0.1°C regulation accuracy.

Rapid Cooling

Featuring automated control, the system enables rapid furnace cooling via air purging to reduce experimental duration.

Minimal Dead Volume

As an instrument capable of performing SSITKA experiments, the AMI-300 SSITKA utilizes 1/16 tubing with an optimized compact design, effectively minimizing dead volume.

Pressure Equalization and valve switching

SSITKA experiments require precise pressure equalization between two streams and rapid valve switching to minimize pressure spike variations in the mass spectrometer signal, ensuring accurate measurements.

Safety

The instrument features a proprietary over-temperature cutoff system for heating furnaces, pressure relief valves on the reactor and sparger, and firmware alarms at hardware limits. User-configurable alarms enhance lab safety by allowing customized alerts based on specific protocols.

Software

The AMI-300 SSITKA software delivers comprehensive control and analytical capabilities, supporting flexible configuration of TPD, TPO, TPR, TPRS, pulse calibration, and other experiments through programmable sequences (up to 99 steps). This automated system performs advanced spectral processing including peak deconvolution, integration, differentiation, and superposition analysis to extract critical catalyst characteristics such as surface acid/base site distribution, activation energy values, and reaction kinetic parameters.

Adsorption Capacity Calculation

During SSITKA experiments, the system executes isotopic switching through specialized gas circuitry integrated with mass spectrometry detection. As illustrated in the schematic interface diagram, the gas flow control system employs a four-way valve (indicated by the red arrow) to perform transient switching between two feed streams. This valving mechanism enables the instantaneous transition of the reactant from 12CO to 13CO while maintaining experimental continuity.

The AMI-Micro 200 Series is a high-precision physisorption instrument designed for the accurate determination of specific surface area and pore size distribution in a wide range of materials. The series is available in three distinct models—A, B, and C—each offering specialized capabilities to accommodate various analytical requirements (refer to the specification table for further details).

The Micro 200 B and C models can be equipped with high-sensitivity 10 torr or 1 torr pressure transducers (with an optional 0.1 torr configuration) and a turbo molecular pump achieving an ultimate pressure of 10⁻⁸ Pa, ensuring exceptional accuracy in the characterization of microporous structures. Furthermore, all analysis stations incorporate in-situ sample preparation, effectively minimizing contamination and enhancing measurement reliability.

Engineered for advanced materials research, the AMI-Micro 200 Series is particularly well-suited for the characterization of microporous materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), molecular sieves, catalysts, activated carbon, and other porous substances, providing precise and reproducible gas adsorption analysis.

Key Features

Module Design for Minimal Dead Volume

The internal gas path design of the instrument adopts a unique integrated metal module design, which not only reduces the internal dead volume space but also lowers the system leakage rate.

Saturated Vapor Pressure P₀

An independent P₀ pressure transducer i sconfigured at 133 kPa for P0 value testing, enabling real-time P/P0 measurement for more accurate and reliable test data. Alternatively, an atmospheric pressure input method can be used to determine P₀.

Independent analysis ports

With independent analysis ports, the system employs a unique vacuum control logic that allows each station to operate without disruption, even when using a single mechanical pump or pump group. This enables simultaneous, independent experiments, meeting diverse adsorbent testing needs while ensuring high efficiency.

High-Precision Micropore Distribution Analysis (Micro 200 B and C)

Utilizes advanced micropore models, including the Horvath-Kawazoe (HK) and Saito-Foley (SF) methods, toaccurately determine pore size distribution. Ensures an aperture deviation of less than 0.02 nm, providing precise characterization of microporous materials in gas adsorption studies.

Thermal Stabilization

A core rod in the sample tube reduces dead volume and stabilizes the cold free space coefficient, while an iso-thermal jacket maintains a constant thermal profile along the tube. Additionally, automatic helium correction ensures precise calibration for any powder or particulate material, minimizing temperature- related deviations during analysis.

Customizable Selection of Pressure Transducers

Depending on the model, the AMI-Micro 200 Series offers various quantities and types of pressure transducers. Among them, the Micro 200 C, equipped with a 1 Torr transducer (selectable 0.1 Torr), enables a partial pressure (P/P₀) of up to 10‾⁸ (N₂/77 K) in physical adsorption analysis.

Optimized Manifold Contamination Control

This system features a multi-channel, adjustable, and parallel vacuum design with segmented vacuum control. This setup effectively prevents samples from being drawn up into the analyzer therefore preventing manifold contamination.

Turbo Molecular Pump

A Turbo Molecular pump is included on the MicroMicro 200C. Achieving ultimate pressures of 10‾⁸ Pa, this system ensures a solid foundation for precise micropore analysis at ultra- low pressures.

Multiple Degassing Stations for Sample Preparation

Equipped with two (2) integrated degassing ports and two (2) in-situ degassing ports. Each port offers independent temperature control from ambient to 400°C (Optional: RT-500°C), ensuring precise sample preparation. In- situ degassing enhances microporous material analysis by providing superior efficiency over ex- situ methods.
Software
PAS Software is an intelligent solution for operation control, data acquisition, calculation, analysis, and report generation on the Windows platform. It communicates with the host via the LAN port and can remotely control multiple instruments simultaneously.

The surface area of a material is, in many cases, as important as the chemical properties. As particle size decreases, surface area increases. Porosity of materials – from micropores to macropores – contribute even more to the total surface area. The interface at the surface is what defines how a solid reacts to other substances, be they gases, liquids, or solids.

Surface area can impact shelf life, stability, dissolution and efficacy of pharmaceutical powders and tablets. Likewise, surface area can affect the rheological properties and hiding powers of pigments, paints, and coatings. It has a significant impact on the ability for materials like catalysts, adsorbents, filtration materials and air separation products to react in the designed application. Ceramics used in applications ranging from; dinner plates, to dental implants, to electronics, all are affected by surface area.

While particle size is frequently used to control size reduction and milling of minerals and other substances, surface area can provide substantial size reduction feedback. Many times, a material which may have the same particle size across different batches may reveal completely different surface areas due to small changes in processing.

The HORIBA Solution

The SA-9600 series of surface area analysers brings exceptional speed, convenience, and low cost-per-analysis to surface area measurement on a wide variety of materials. Now you can perform ultra-fast single or multi-point surface area measurements with push-button ease.

These tools use the robust and proven flowing gas method to acquire gas adsorption and desorption data. This information is then used to calculate total surface area utilising the well-known BET method. The advantage of the flowing gas method is most evident in single-point mode where up to thirty sample analyses can be performed per hour.

The patented SA-9600 technology provides routine total surface area determination in as little as two to six minutes. The SA-9603 models feature three stations for three simultaneous surface area measurements.

Features
Fully Automatic

Begin analyses with simplicity. The SA-9600 does the rest! The entire analysis is completed without further interaction and avoids the manual steps required with many similar analysers.

Small Footprint

Laboratory bench space is at a premium in most labs. The SA-9600 provides all analysis and preparation stations in one small, well-designed cabinet. No need for additional space for separate analysis and preparation devices as with many alternative analyzers. If expansion is needed, additional stations are added in the same footprint – not by adding more devices which consume more space on the lab bench. The SA-9600 may also be controlled from the built-in computer and keyboard saving additional space in your lab.

No User Calibration Required

To ensure repeatable accuracy, the SA-9600 performs an automatic calibration before every measurement. And from there, the SA-9600 technology eliminates variables otherwise introduced by operator involvement.

Lowest Cost of Ownership

The use of mass flow controllers in some versions of the SA-9600 series automatically create the necessary mixtures of nitrogen and helium for multi-point BET surface area analysis. This lowers the total cost of ownership by eliminating the need to purchase expensive gas mixtures. Straight forward design ensures service costs are minimal compared to more complex, static volumetric technology.

Detector Protection

An automated bypass loop and cell detector switch limits the effects of missing or broken sample cells by bypassing the detector when gas flow to the cell stops.

Electronic Valves

Reliable electronic valves eliminate the need for a compressed air or gas supply to actuate valves during the measurement process, further lowering cost of ownership.

Improved Gas Handling

Thoughtful design of manifold layout and valve selection result in more stable, balanced flow, improving repeatability, lowering maintenance costs, and easing operation.

Robust Dewar Elevator System

A rugged mechanical design means smoother and reliable movement of the Dewar tray that raises and lowers the LN2 Dewars.

Software Control

The SA-9600 software was designed to be easy as 1, 2, 3.
- Type sample name
- Choose measurement type
- Click “Start”
And in a few minutes the full surface area report will be complete.

View the measurement in real-time to see the auto-calibration, adsorption, and desorption.

Flexibility

Built-in functions allow optimization of system for different sample types.
- Gas concentration of mixed gases may be precisely controlled to give results identical to the multipoint method.
- A wide variety of sample cells are available, allowing measurements to be made on diverse sample types.
Use the feature-rich SA-9600 software to control the unit via USB communication or use the built-in keyboard and display.

High Throughput

Every SA-9600 model includes multiple sample preparation stations (2 or 3 depending on model). For very high throughput environments the SA-9660 accessory provides three additional stations.
Specifications
BET Surface Area Measurement Range

Total Surface Area: 0.1 to 50 m2
Specific Surface Area: Approximately 0.01 – 2,000 m2/g
Much more sensitive to low surface area samples than volumetric type analyzers, allowing the use of samples less than 1g and as low as 0.1 square meters in the sample cell.

Accuracy and Precision

Reproducibility is better than 1% COV.
Accuracy is better than 10% for most samples.

The SA-9600 Series offers a full line of high-quality, high-performance BET Surface Area Analyzers with four fully automatic analyzers to meet the needs of any research or quality assurance laboratory. The SA-9600 Series analyzers include:
- SA-9601: One sample analysis station, two sample preparation stations.
- SA-9601MP: One sample analysis station, two sample preparation stations, MFC gas mixture control and multi-point analysis.

Capabilities

Separate magnet/sample probe assembly

The magnet/sample probe assembly – called a MagnoPod™ – is a separate, temperature-controlled unit. This practical feature allows the MagnoMeter XRS™ devices to be operated remotely. Each unit can accommodate multiple MagnoPods™, which adds flexibility and extends the scope of any application. The MagnoMeter XRS™ devices are ideal for use in controlled or hazardous environments, and can be integrated into production equipment. The small footprint saves space in any lab, and the low weight makes it easily portable.

By direct digital synthesis (DDS)

At the heart of the MagnoMeter XRS™ is state-of-the-art NMR technology (patent-pending). It features Direct Digital Synthesis, which incorporates a software defined radio device. Radio frequency generation and detection is done digitally; there are no analogue multiplexing steps in detecting the NMR signal. This next-generation technology provides the MagnoMeter XRS™ devices with exceptional resolution of complex solid-liquid and liquid-liquid formulations at any concentration – and at significantly faster speeds than the competition.

MagnoSoft™: simple and intuitive software

Measurements using the MagnoMeter XRS™ devices are based on the simple and intuitive MagnoSoft™ program, and operation requires minimal training and expertise. The MagnoSoft™ program can control multiple MagnoPods™ from one central control unit, which adds incredible flexibility and eliminates the need to purchase multiple instruments.

Highly-customisable pulse sequencing

The MagnoMeter XRS™ features phase cycling, composite pulses, and two-channel radio frequency and 3D shaped gradients, all customizable by the pulse programming interface of the MagnoSoft™ program. This makes possible 1D, 2D, and 3D imaging, robust self-diffusion measurement (10-9 to 10-13 m2s-1), droplet sizing analysis, polymer characterization in solution and melts, and more.

Uses regular length NMR tubes

With the MagnoMeter XRS™ there is no need to change the way you work – or the type of NMR tube you use. It is challenging to fill a narrow NMR tube with a highly viscous fluid, so larger-diameter tubes are needed. Conversely, when sample volume is very low, or higher resolution is needed, a narrow-diameter tube is ideal. Accordingly, the MagnoPod™ can accommodate four different diameter NMR tubes: 2 mm (highest resolution), 4 mm (standard resolution), 8 mm (lower resolution) and 10 mm (lowest resolution).

Measurements have never been easier

The MagnoMeter XRS suite of products offers the user a wide degree of flexibilty to meet their individual need. Do you need to measure samples at multiple locations, or analyse multiple nuclei? The MagnoPod™ is easily exchangeable, and convenient additional pods are available for a wide range of nuclei (including 7Li, 19F and 32P). Multiple MagnoPods™ can be connected and driven by one controller, all run by the powerful MagnoSoft™ program. Sometimes the difference between success and failure is a matter of degrees. All MagnoPods™ come standard with a temperature exchanger unit installed. An optional upgrade to a Peltier controlled system is available. Need more resolution? Higher field magnets are available. Talk to us, and we can tailor the MagnoMeter XRS™ to meet your specific needs.
