美国加利福尼亚州斯坦福大学的研究人员,利用一种同步加速器作为强x射线源,研究了一种生钴、钼和硫组成的工业催化剂。这种加速器使电子以接近光速的速度旋转,在此过程中产生高度聚集的强x射线,他们所研究的催化剂是石油化学工业中最重要的催化剂之一。它在加氢脱硫反应过程中,可以将催化剂毒物—硫从原油中除掉。斯坦福大学的科学家设计了一种特殊的,适合在高温和高压(250℃和73大气压)条件 Researchers at Stanford University in California, USA, used a synchrotron as a strong x-ray source to study an industrial catalyst composed of cobalt, molybdenum and sulfur. The accelerator rotates the electrons at a speed close to the speed of light, producing highly concentrated x-rays in the process. The catalyst they studied is one of the most important catalysts in the petrochemical industry. It is in the hydrodesulfurization reaction, the catalyst poison - sulfur from the crude oil removed. Stanford scientists have designed a special, suitable for high temperature and high pressure (250 ℃ and 73 atm) conditions
