Measuring sample loading capacity involves determining the maximum amount of reactant that can be converted in a catalytic reaction without a drop in performance. This can be done through various experimental methods:
Breakthrough Curves: By monitoring the outlet concentration of the reactant over time, one can determine the point at which the catalyst becomes saturated. Kinetic Studies: Examining the reaction rate as a function of reactant concentration can help identify the loading capacity. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): This technique can measure weight changes in the catalyst as it adsorbs reactants, providing insights into its capacity.
