What are the Common Methods of Chemical Storage in Catalysis?
Several methods are used to store chemicals in catalysis: - Temperature Control: Many catalysts and reactants need to be stored at specific temperatures to maintain their activity. - Inert Atmospheres: Some substances require storage in an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation by air or moisture. - Specialized Containers: Using containers made from materials that are compatible with the chemicals to avoid reactions. - Separation: Storing incompatible chemicals separately to prevent dangerous reactions.
