What Types of Catalysts Can Benefit from Ultrasonic Cleaning?
Both solid catalysts and supported catalysts can benefit from ultrasonic cleaning. Solid catalysts, such as those used in petrochemical refining, often accumulate heavy deposits that are difficult to remove with conventional cleaning methods. Supported catalysts, which consist of active catalytic materials dispersed on a support, can also suffer from fouling and deactivation. Ultrasonic cleaning can help by ensuring that the active sites are free from contaminants, thus maintaining the catalyst's performance.
