What Are Regeneration and Deactivation in Catalysis?
Catalyst deactivation is a common issue where the activity of the catalyst decreases over time due to factors such as sintering, coking, or poisoning. Regeneration refers to the process of restoring the activity of a deactivated catalyst, often through treatments like calcination or chemical washing. Effective regeneration techniques are essential for extending the lifespan of catalysts and maintaining efficient catalytic processes.
