What are the Common Methods for Performance Testing?
Several experimental methods are employed to evaluate catalyst performance:
1. Batch Reactors: Used for initial testing and small-scale reactions. 2. Continuous Flow Reactors: Ideal for industrial-scale reactions and long-term stability tests. 3. Spectroscopic Techniques: Such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to study catalyst structure and composition. 4. Chromatographic Analysis: For product distribution and selectivity assessment.
