The specific steps involved in column conditioning can vary depending on the type of column and the catalytic process. Generally, the process may include:
Cleaning: Removing any impurities or residues that may have accumulated in the column. Activation: Treating the column to restore or enhance its catalytic properties. This can involve heating, chemical treatments, or applying a specific gas flow. Equilibration: Running the column with the chosen solvent or reactant mixture until a stable baseline is achieved, indicating the column is ready for use.
