Activate the catalyst
1–2 hPretreat metal/oxide catalyst at high temperature under reducing/oxidizing gas to activate sites.
💡 Tip Control carrier-gas flow and temperature well
⚠️ Caution H₂ reduction needs good exhaust

2
Charge the reactor
30 minLoad activated catalyst into a fixed-bed or slurry reactor, seal, and leak-check.
💡 Tip Even packing in fixed bed aids flow
⚠️ Caution Poor sealing leaks high-pressure gas

3
Pressurize and react
2–6 hIntroduce feedstock/gas, raise pressure and temperature stepwise, sample for conversion.
💡 Tip Stepwise heating avoids runaway
⚠️ Caution High-pressure exotherms need relief valves

4
Separate and regenerate
1 hFilter/settle out the catalyst after unloading; regenerate by calcination/reduction as needed.
💡 Tip Regenerate gently to avoid sintering
⚠️ Caution Coked catalyst needs careful regeneration

⚠️ 5 Common Beginner Mistakes
- ① Unactivated catalyst underperforms
- ② Poor seals leak
- ③ Rapid heating causes runaway
- ④ Coking shortens catalyst life
- ⑤ Over-regeneration sinters and deactivates
❓ FAQ
+Heterogeneous advantages?
Easy separation/recycle, ideal for continuous processes.
+How many cycles?
Tens of cycles before regeneration depending on decay.
+Detect deactivation?
Conversion drops unrecoverably plus coking/sintering by characterization.
