Effective pretreatment is crucial for several reasons:
Enhanced Catalytic Performance: Proper pretreatment can increase the activity and stability of the catalyst, leading to higher conversion rates and better product yields. Reduced Impurities: Removing contaminants such as sulfur, nitrogen, and metals can prevent catalyst deactivation and prolong its lifetime. Optimized Feedstock Properties: Adjusting properties like particle size, moisture content, and chemical composition can make the feedstock more amenable to catalytic processes.
