How Do Capillary Forces Affect Catalyst Preparation?
During the preparation of catalysts, such as impregnation or co-precipitation, capillary forces can determine the uniformity of the catalyst distribution. When a liquid precursor is applied to a porous support, capillary forces can drive the liquid into the pores, leading to a more uniform distribution of the catalytic material. Conversely, uneven capillary forces can result in non-uniform deposition, which may affect the catalyst's performance.
