The procedure for conducting catalytic lifetime tests generally involves the following steps:
Preparation of the Catalyst: This involves synthesizing and characterizing the catalyst to ensure it meets the desired specifications. Initial Activity Measurement: The catalyst's initial activity is measured to establish a baseline for comparison. Long-Term Testing: The catalyst is subjected to the chosen testing conditions for an extended period, with periodic measurements of its activity. Data Analysis: The data collected during the test is analyzed to determine the catalyst's deactivation rate and overall lifetime.
