High-Throughput Testing of Heterogeneous Catalyst Libraries Using Array Microreactors and Mass Spectrometry.
Eighty isolated channels are present in the array microreactor system that was coupled to a quadrupole mass spectrometer for high-throughput testing of heterogeneous catalyst libraries. The system was used to monitor the activities, selectivities, and reaction kinetics of 66 ternary Pt/Pd/In catalysts for the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane to benzene over 24 h. It was possible to screen the entire 80-channel library in less than 10 minutes (see picture).
