Why is the Bulk Crush Test Important in Catalysis?
In industrial processes, catalysts are often subjected to physical stresses such as pressure and mechanical handling. The mechanical strength of a catalyst can directly affect its performance, longevity, and overall efficiency. A bulk crush test helps in assessing whether a catalyst can withstand operational pressures and mechanical attrition without breaking down. This ensures reliable and continuous operation of catalytic reactors, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
