|
Available Experiments/Techniques: variation of relevant parameters (monomer pressure, catalyst concentration, temperature) for catalysis in parallel reaction (high-output screening). This can be to optimize the catalyst system to achieve an optimized product in terms of increasing the activity of the catalyst and the product selectivity. |
||
Special Equipment: Equipment for up to 10 parallel reactions with pressures up to 10 bar |
||
Measurements on the equipment are currently done by: | Students after extensive training Trained scientific service personal |
