There are several strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of dimensional changes:
1. Material Selection: Choosing materials with high thermal stability and resistance to phase changes can reduce dimensional changes.
2. Support Structures: Using support structures can help maintain the integrity of catalysts and minimize dimensional changes.
3. Coatings: Applying protective coatings can prevent wear and chemical degradation, preserving the dimensions of catalysts.
4. Process Control: Precise control of reaction conditions, such as temperature and pressure, can minimize thermal expansion and other dimensional changes.
