Pressure testing typically involves a series of experiments where the catalyst is subjected to different pressures while keeping other variables constant. The key steps include:
Loading the catalyst into a reactor. Setting up the system to control and measure pressure accurately. Running the catalytic reaction at various pressures. Analyzing the reaction products using techniques like gas chromatography (GC) or mass spectrometry (MS). Comparing the performance metrics such as conversion, selectivity, and yield at different pressures.
