Cryogenic grinding offers several advantages, particularly in the context of catalysis:
Prevention of thermal degradation: The low temperature prevents the material from degrading due to heat, preserving its catalytic properties. Improved grinding efficiency: The brittleness induced by the low temperature makes the material easier to grind, leading to finer particles. Enhanced purity: The process minimizes contamination, ensuring that the ground material remains pure and effective as a catalyst. Increased surface area: Fine particles with a large surface area are more effective in catalytic reactions, improving the overall efficiency of the process.
