What Materials Are Used for Perforated Plates in Catalysis?
The choice of material for a perforated plate depends on the specific catalytic process and the operating conditions. Common materials include:
Metals: Stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium are commonly used due to their durability and resistance to corrosion. Ceramics: Alumina and silica plates are used for high-temperature applications and when chemical inertness is required. Polymers: For lower temperature applications and when chemical resistance to specific reactants or products is needed.
