Key parameters to consider during thermal drying include:
Temperature: The drying temperature must be optimized to prevent the decomposition of the active components. Time: Sufficient time must be allowed to ensure complete removal of moisture without overheating. Atmosphere: The composition of the drying atmosphere (e.g., air, nitrogen) can influence the drying rate and the properties of the final catalyst. Pressure: In vacuum drying, the pressure must be controlled to facilitate efficient moisture removal.
