Several key parameters influence the efficiency and outcome of the wet impregnation process:
Concentration of the Impregnation Solution: Higher concentrations can lead to better loading but may also cause agglomeration. pH of the Solution: Adjusting the pH can influence the interaction between the precursor and the support. Impregnation Time: Longer times allow for better penetration of the solution into the pores. Drying and Calcination Conditions: These steps are critical for removing the solvent and converting the precursor into an active catalyst.
