I have passivated my catalyst to prevent oxidation; now before promotter addition, I would like to know the temperature to re-reduce the catalyst. That can be presicted by TPR. For the latter, the maximum temperature to reach depends on the thermal stability of the catalyst, hence TGA is beleived to satisfy this aim. I would to know more information that can be derived from such results or if once come accross a similar project.
Dear Fabrice Kapiamba, you can get the limit of thermal stability of this hybrid compound and the its degradation products if coupled to mass spectroscopy. My Regards
Besides the thermal stability, you can calculate the activated energy, the mass ratio between the combustible and incombustible fractions, and integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT).
It is possible to determine the sintering temperature, catalyst purity and mass loss of the catalyst from the TGA data.
Hope this helps...
