Compounding can be performed through various methods, including:
- Co-precipitation: A method where the active and support materials are precipitated together from a solution. - Impregnation: Involves soaking a support material with a solution of the active component, followed by drying and calcination. - Mechanical Mixing: Physical blending of the different components to form a homogeneous mixture. - Sol-Gel Method: A chemical process that involves the transition of a solution into a solid gel phase to produce highly uniform materials.
