A new in situ method has been developed to analyze gas composition and temperature within a packed bed of catalyst for gas phase heterogeneously catalysed reactions. CFD calculations have determined the probe to be minimally invasive and an excellent fit was obtained between the experimental profiles and a micro-kinetic model.
