Method for measuring the relative catalytic activity of carbonaceous chars

摘要

A method is provided for evaluating the catalytic activity of carbonaceous chars via the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in contact with such materials. In this method the rise in temperature occasioned by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide under essentially adiabatic conditions is monitored as a function of time. By use of this method, carbonaceous chars having high catalytic activities may be rapidly and conveniently identified.
