Several strategies can be employed to mitigate mechanical wear in catalysts:
Material Selection: Using more durable materials that are resistant to wear can extend the life of the catalyst. Coatings: Applying protective coatings to catalyst surfaces can reduce wear caused by friction and abrasion. Operational Conditions: Optimizing reactor conditions, such as reducing flow rates or using softer particles, can minimize wear. Catalyst Design: Designing catalysts with specific shapes or sizes that are less prone to wear can improve durability.
