Conducting catalytic experiments involves several steps to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Key steps include:
1. Reactor Setup: Choosing between batch, continuous, or semi-batch reactors depending on the reaction. Ensuring proper control of temperature, pressure, and flow rates. 2. Catalyst Loading: Accurately measuring and loading the catalyst to ensure consistent results. 3. Reaction Conditions: Setting and maintaining specific reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and concentration of reactants. 4. Sampling and Analysis: Taking samples at regular intervals and analyzing them using techniques such as Gas Chromatography (GC) or High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
