Various techniques are employed for health monitoring of catalysts:
1. Spectroscopic Techniques: Techniques such as infrared spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy are used to analyze the chemical environment of the catalyst. 2. Thermal Analysis: Methods like thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) help in understanding the thermal stability of catalysts. 3. Microscopy: Electron microscopy provides detailed images of catalyst surfaces to detect structural changes. 4. Gas Chromatography: Used to measure the composition of gaseous products and reactants.
