Several common mistakes can compromise the integrity of catalysts:
1. Exposure to Air: Leaving catalysts exposed to air, especially those sensitive to oxidation, can lead to rapid deactivation. 2. Improper Sealing: Using containers that do not seal properly can allow contaminants and moisture to enter. 3. Incorrect Labeling: Failing to label containers with important information such as the type of catalyst, storage conditions, and date can lead to mishandling.
