Understanding the composition and characteristics of catalyst dust is essential for effective management. Common methods for analyzing catalyst dust include:
1. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Provides detailed images of the dust particles' morphology and size distribution. 2. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Identifies the crystalline phases present in the dust, offering insights into its chemical composition. 3. Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX): Used in conjunction with SEM, this technique provides elemental composition analysis of the dust particles. 4. Particle Size Analysis: Techniques such as laser diffraction and dynamic light scattering can measure the size distribution of dust particles.
