What are Common Faults Addressed by FTA in Catalysis?
Some common faults in catalysis that can be analyzed using FTA include:
Catalyst Poisoning: Contaminants or impurities in the feedstock that deactivate the catalyst. Thermal Degradation: Catalyst deactivation due to high temperatures. Sintering: Loss of catalytic surface area due to agglomeration of particles. Mechanical Wear: Physical damage to the catalyst particles or support structure. Mass Transfer Limitations: Inefficiencies arising from poor mixing or diffusion limitations.
