A fifth Hiden Analytical spectrometer has been installed at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano, demonstrating the excellent reputation enjoyed by these instruments. The latter in particular has been installed in the Catalysis and Catalytic Processes Laboratory (LCCP), and in particular in the Multiscale Catalysis Group, led by Professor Matteo Maestri.

The laboratory deals with heterogeneous catalysis, with multidisciplinary and multiscale approaches for the design and optimization of innovative chemical processes. The instrument will be used mainly for research on CO₂ reactions via methanation reactions, reverse water gas shift and dry reforming of methane.

The instrument is equipped with a triple filter quadrupole, which offers exceptional performance and, where this is relevant, also considerable resistance to contamination. The instrument is also equipped with an upgrade for corrosive gases, which allows it to work, for example, with pure ammonia flows. A gas dilution system inside the pumps also allows for the analysis of flows with high hydrogen concentrations (up to 100%), without having to dilute them at the instrument input.Il laboratorio si occupa di catalisi eterogenea, con approcci multidisciplinari e multiscala per la progettazione e ottimizzazione di processi chimici innovativi. Lo strumento verrà usato principalmente per ricerche riguardanti reazioni di della CO₂ tramite reazioni di metanazione, reverse water gas shift e dry reforming del metano.
