Several methods are employed to clean catalysts depending on the type of contaminants and the nature of the catalyst. Common methods include:
Thermal Cleaning: Heating the catalyst to high temperatures to burn off organic contaminants. Chemical Cleaning: Using solvents or acids to dissolve and remove specific impurities. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Using high-frequency sound waves to agitate and remove particles from the catalyst's surface. Mechanical Cleaning: Techniques like brushing or scrubbing to physically remove debris.
