We studied parametric dependences betweenthe catalysts activity, their textured features and physical and chemical conditions of theexperiment. We examined the possibility of the kinetics extrapolation of gas conversion in theexperimental conditions onto the real operating conditions of catalytic converters. Positiveresult of the equipment usage was noted.For our company ROS ECO (catalytic converters), the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis SBRAS, developed a complex system for automotive catalytic converters quality control toaccomplish the following tasks:- prompt in-process control;- development of new catalysts;- analysis of consequences of the catalysts accelerated aging to control their operationalresource.This equipment complex includes:- Flow- circulation system Bi-CATr (CH 4, CO, NO x ) to define the catalytic activity,developed in two operational versions;- Equipment Bi-CAT flow to define hydrothermal ageing of catalysts;- Equipment Sorbtometer-M to measure the catalyst specific surface area by single-point(BET) and multipoint methods, with the possibility to study pores distribution by their size;- Bi-Sorbchemo instrument to define the surface area and dispersity of coated metals by agas impulsive chemosorbtion method;- Purification gas system Bi-GAScleaner.This work is dedicated to the results of using these instruments in the factory labenvironment. During the initial stages, the focus was on the solution of methodical tasks.591
