Hydropyrolysis

WA Organic and Isotope Geochemistry Facility

• Manufacturer: Strata
• Year: 2010
• Building: 500
• Room: 3244

Uses high temperatures and hydrogen pressure to break down macromolecular amenable to GC analysis.

• Mo catalyst assists in breaking down macromolecular organics.
• High hydrogen pressures and dry ice trap prevent isomerisation of fragment molecules.
• Useful for analysis of ancient kerogens and very recent functionalised OM.
