Calorimetry and thermal methods in catalysis
19 - 24 June 2011
Lyon, France
This summer school of calorimetry is intended to fill the gap between the basic thermodynamic and kinetics concepts acquired by students during their academic studies, and the use of experimental techniques such as thermal analysis and calorimetry to answer practical questions. The course will give insight into the different thermal and calorimetric methods which can be employed in studies aimed at characterising the physico-chemical properties of solid adsorbents, supports and catalysts, and the processes related to the adsorption desorption phenomena of the reactants and/or products of catalytic reactions
