What Are the Maintenance Requirements for Catalysts?
Maintenance in catalytic processes involves regular monitoring, cleaning, and regeneration. The frequency and type of maintenance required depend on the catalyst and the specific application. For instance, catalysts used in high-temperature or high-pressure reactions may require more frequent maintenance. Proper reactor design and operational strategies can help minimize maintenance needs. Regular inspections and analytical techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are essential for maintaining catalyst performance.
