Several quality control measures are implemented to maintain catalyst quality:
1. Raw Material Quality: Ensuring the purity and consistency of raw materials used in catalyst production. 2. Process Control: Monitoring and controlling the production process parameters to maintain consistency. 3. Characterization Techniques: Employing techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BET surface area analysis to characterize catalysts. 4. Performance Testing: Conducting catalytic activity and selectivity tests to evaluate performance. 5. Stability Testing: Assessing the long-term stability and reusability of catalysts under various conditions. 6. Contamination Control: Implementing measures to prevent contamination during production and handling.
