Several strategies can be employed to mitigate the effects of erosion and attrition:
1. Material Selection: Use of harder and more robust catalyst materials. 2. Coatings and Treatments: Applying protective coatings to catalysts can enhance resistance to mechanical wear. 3. Reactor Design: Optimizing reactor design to minimize high-velocity zones and mechanical stress. 4. Operational Adjustments: Modifying operational conditions, such as reducing flow rates and avoiding sharp temperature gradients. 5. Use of Additives: Incorporating anti-attrition additives to stabilize catalyst particles.
