What Are Some Best Practices for Catalyst Storage?
To mitigate the issues mentioned above, consider the following best practices:
Labeling: Always label catalyst containers with the type of catalyst, date of storage, and any specific storage conditions required. Inventory Management: Keep an accurate inventory to ensure that older catalysts are used before newer ones. Regular Inspection: Periodically check stored catalysts for signs of degradation or contamination. Use of Desiccants: For moisture-sensitive catalysts, placing desiccants in the storage container can help maintain a dry environment. Inert Atmosphere Storage: For air-sensitive catalysts, consider storing them under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon.
