The process of catalytic upgrading typically involves the following steps:
1. Feedstock Preparation: The raw material is pre-treated to remove impurities that might poison the catalyst. 2. Catalyst Contact: The prepared feedstock is brought into contact with the catalyst under controlled conditions of temperature and pressure. 3. Reaction: The feedstock undergoes a chemical reaction facilitated by the catalyst, resulting in the formation of desired products. 4. Separation: The reaction products are separated from the catalyst and any unreacted feedstock. 5. Purification: The final products are purified to meet quality specifications.
