Preventive measures can significantly extend the life of catalysts:
Proper Material Selection: Choosing catalysts resistant to poisoning and thermal degradation. Pre-treatment: Removing potential poisons and contaminants from reactants. Controlled Reaction Conditions: Maintaining optimal temperature and pressure to minimize thermal and mechanical stress. Regular Monitoring: Using analytical techniques to monitor catalyst condition and take timely action. Regeneration Techniques: Employing methods like thermal regeneration or chemical treatment to restore catalytic activity.
