Validation involves several steps, typically starting with screening experiments to identify the most promising catalysts. Once potential candidates are identified, more detailed studies are conducted to evaluate their performance under different conditions. These studies may include:
Reaction kinetics studies to understand the reaction rate and mechanism. Long-term stability tests to assess the catalyst's durability. Poisoning studies to determine the catalyst's resistance to deactivation by impurities. Regeneration studies to evaluate the possibility of recovery and reuse of the catalyst.
