Several strategies can be employed to mitigate hydrothermal aging:
1. Material Selection: Choosing materials with high thermal stability and resistance to steam can reduce the impact of hydrothermal aging. 2. Coatings: Applying protective coatings to the catalyst can help shield it from steam and high temperatures. 3. Optimized Operating Conditions: Adjusting the operating conditions to minimize exposure to extreme temperatures and steam can extend the catalyst's life. 4. Regeneration Techniques: Periodically regenerating the catalyst to remove contaminants and restore activity can also be effective.
