What are the Primary Sources of Sample Variability?
Several factors contribute to sample variability, including:
Raw Material Inconsistencies: Variations in the purity and composition of starting materials can lead to differences in the final catalyst. Synthesis Conditions: Small changes in temperature, pressure, pH, and other synthesis parameters can significantly impact catalyst properties. Preparation Methods: Differences in techniques such as impregnation, co-precipitation, and sol-gel methods can introduce variability. Environmental Factors: Humidity, contamination, and other environmental conditions during synthesis and storage can affect catalyst quality.
