How Can Precipitation Be Controlled to Optimize Catalyst Performance?
To optimize catalyst performance, the precipitation process must be carefully controlled. This involves:
- Regulating the rate of addition of the precipitating agent. - Controlling pH and temperature during the precipitation. - Employing stabilizers to prevent premature agglomeration of particles. - Using post-precipitation treatments such as washing, drying, and calcination to enhance the properties of the precipitated catalyst.
