The preparation of catalysts for slurry reactors involves several steps:
1. Synthesis: Catalysts are synthesized through various methods such as precipitation, sol-gel, or impregnation. 2. Characterization: Techniques like BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to characterize catalyst properties. 3. Activation: Catalysts often require activation through processes like calcination or reduction before use in the reactor.
