Attrition testing is essential for ensuring the reliability and performance of catalysts in industrial applications. High attrition rates can lead to several issues:
1. Reduced Catalyst Efficiency: Broken or degraded particles can decrease the active surface area, leading to lower catalytic activity. 2. Operational Challenges: Fine particles can cause operational problems such as clogging or pressure drops in the reactor. 3. Economic Impact: Frequent replacement of catalysts due to attrition increases operational costs.
