What Does TPO Stand For?
TPO stands for Temperature Programmed Oxidiation
TPO, or Temperature Programmed Oxidation, is an analytical technique used to investigate the oxidation properties of materials, particularly catalysts and adsorbents. It involves gradually increasing the temperature of a sample in the presence of an oxidizing agent, allowing for the assessment of the material's oxidation behavior, the identification of active sites, and the determination of reaction kinetics. This method is essential for characterizing and optimizing materials in various applications, including catalysis, environmental science, and materials engineering.
