Abstract
A device and a method for testing a material, particularly a catalytically active material, are provided. In accordance with the present invention, a substance mixture is chemically converted and a radiation unit, which allows the rapid characterization of the material without a great effort, is provided for generating radiation to be at least partially absorbed by the substance mixture. At least one temperature measuring device for measuring a temperature change caused by the absorption is also provided.
Claims19
A system for testing a material which includes a catalytically active material, comprising:
- a substance mixture arranged to be chemically converted;
- a radiation unit configured to generate a radiation which is at least partially absorbed by the substance mixture;
- and
- at least one temperature measuring device to measure a temperature change caused by the at least partial absorption of radiation.
A testing unit for testing a plurality of different materials, including catalytically active materials, comprising:
- a substance mixture arranged to be chemically converted;
- a radiation unit configured to generate a radiation which is at least partially absorbed by the substance mixture;
- and
- a temperature measuring device for each different material to measure a temperature change caused by the at least partial absorption of radiation.
A method of testing a material which includes a catalytically active material, comprising:
- chemically converting a substance mixture using the material being tested;
- and
- generating a radiation using a radiation unit;
- and
- directing the radiation at the substance mixture such that the radiation is at least partially absorbed by the substance mixture.
