Detection of incomplete regeneration can be achieved through various methods:
Activity Tests: Measuring the catalytic activity before and after regeneration can indicate any loss in performance. Characterization Techniques: Tools such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) can reveal changes in the catalyst’s structure and composition. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): This technique can monitor weight changes during regeneration, providing insights into the completeness of the process.
