The goal was to study properties of a structured catalyticsystem for COPrOx reaction using the X-ray micro-computed tomography technique(µCT). This methodology could be identified as a powerful tool to analyze, in anon-destructive way, catalytic film distribution among other characteristics[1]. Structure consisted of CuO and CeO2 oxides incorporated on silicaand coating on wall of cordierite monolith. Reconstruction and digitization ofthe sample were carried out and analysis modules were applied: mesh models,wall thickness, actual/nominal comparison and porosity.
