Catalyst Characterization

How They Are Tested

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Fundamental and Applied Catalysis ((FACA))

Abstract

Characterization of the catalyst is necessary at every stage of development. Critical parameters are measured not only to check the effectiveness of each operation but also to provide specifications for future products. Prepar-ational procedures can be properly assessed and corrections made only if guidelines to the properties are available. Product quality in commercial production is facilitated with appropriate testing, and the first step in any diagnosis of process problems is to measure changes that have occurred. It is vital that accepted techniques for determining these characteristics be established as an adjunct to research design, preparation, testing, and manufacture.
