Nanomaterials & Adsorption Lab
IGA-3 Sorption System
Gravimetric adsorption instrument capable of measuring adsorption isotherms of vapors and gases at pressure up to 20 bar and temperature over 100C.
Micromeritics 3Flex
Walton Labs have two 3Flex instruments. One is equipped with cryostat and is capable of adsorption measurements at cryogenic temperatures. 3 ports per instrument allow multiple samples to be tested at the same time.
Micromeritics TriStar
Surface area and porosity analyzer at cryogenic temperatures with 3 stations for measurement of multiple samples at a time. The Walton Labs have two TriStar analyzers.
Netzsch TGA/DSC
Thermogravimetric analyzer with differential scanning calorimetry capability equipped with water vapor furnace and humidity generator.
Multicomponent Adsorption Analyzer
Custom-built unit for measuring adsorption equilibrium of complex mixtures.
Pressure Decay Cell
Custom-built system for measuring pure-component adsorption equilibrium data.
Shimadzu Gas Chromatograph
Includes autosampler and flame ionization detector
Specialty Gas Lab
Special facility for handling toxic gases including sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, NOx, and chlorine.
Toxic Gas Manifold
Gas manifold connected to gas cabinets in the Specialty Gas Lab. All cabinets and the entire laboratory is connected to a centralized gas monitoring alert system.
Midas Sensors
Midas sensors for continuous, online monitoring of air quality in the Specialty Gas Laboratory.
Convection and programmable Ovens
Ovens for material synthesis. Set-point ovens for procedures under isothermal conditions and programmable ovens for synthesis procedures and reactions requiring temperature ramps.
Quadrasorb BET System
Physisorption at cryogenic temperatures for determining surface areas, pore volumes, and pore size distributions of porous solids. The unit has 4 ports to allow testing of 4 different samples at the same time.
