What are the Key Parameters in Accelerated Aging Tests?
Several parameters are crucial in designing and interpreting accelerated aging tests:
- Temperature: Higher temperatures can speed up sintering and phase changes. - Pressure: Elevated pressures can affect the catalyst's structural integrity. - Concentration: Increased reactant or poison concentrations can accelerate deactivation. - Time: The duration of exposure must be sufficient to observe significant changes.
These parameters must be chosen to balance acceleration with relevance, ensuring that the accelerated aging conditions are representative of real-world scenarios.
