| Equipment |
The CQE researchers have at their disposal a range of advanced equipment that allow them to carry out different types of tests and analyses under collaborative research projects involving the person responsible for the equipment as a participant. Some analyses may alternatively be carried out in the form of service provision. |
| Analysis of solids under controlled temperature and atmosphere by X-Ray Diffraction | Characterisation of materials by NMR
 |
Characterisation of the surface chemistry of materials by FTIR | Characterisation of materials by thermal analysis |
| Determination of surface area and porosity by adsorption of N2 at 77K |
| Characterisation of porosity by mercury porosimetry |
| Characterisation of solids by adsorption of water vapour, butane and other probes |
| Ultimate (C, H, N, S & O) and proximate (ash & humidity) analysis of solids |
| Elemental analysis by X-ray Fluorescence |
| Determination of densities by pycnometry and mercury porosimetry |
| Determination of point of zero charge and surface acidity of solids in suspension |
| Rheological characterization of materials and complex fluids |
| Determination of thermodynamical properties of fluids |
| Prevision of properties by computer simulation |
From the University's network it is possible to access the most important databases of scientific journals relevant for the execution of the tests and analyses. There also exists the possibility of accessing patents and Standards. |
