Students in the Hazlett group have access to state of the art chemical engineering lab equipment in the brand new lab space in the Applied Science Hub. This includes a bench scale flow reactor, pictured below (left) and a bench scale batch reactor (middle), to analyze catalytic performance. Online gas analysis can be done with a Nicolet iS50 FTIR equipped with a gas cell, with a APIX micro GC, or MKS MultiGas 2030 Gas Analyzer. There is also capacity to do DRIFTS with a Harrick Praying Mantis accessory equipped with optional Harrick High Temperature Reaction Chamber (right).

Shared facilities in the department include characterization equipment important for the characterization of catalyst samples such as:
  • High-pressure thermogravimetric analyzer: determines the reactivity of materials by measuring mass changes due to heating in a gas stream.
  • Differential scanning calorimeter: measures the heat capacity of materials. It can detect structural changes resulting from heating of materials.
  • Gas adsorption analyzer: measures surface properties of porous materials such as catalysts and nanomaterials.
  • Atomic force microscope: scans the surface of a sample on a molecular scale with a probe and composes a synthetic image of the surface as if it was photographed through a microscope with extreme magnification.
  • Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer​
