Catalyst deactivation is an inevitable phenomenon in many catalytic processes, and its management is crucial for ensuring the sustainability and economic viability of industrial operations. Deactivation can result from several factors, including mechanical wear, changes in the catalyst structure, and the presence of contaminants. Among the most common causes of deactivation are poisoning, where harmful substances bind to active sites, and sintering, which leads to the coalescence of metal particles, reducing surface area and catalytic efficiency. Additionally, fouling, caused by the buildup of carbon or other materials on the catalyst surface, can impair reactant access to active sites. Catalyst regeneration aims to restore or improve the catalyst's performance, and it can be accomplished through several methods, including thermal regeneration, chemical treatment, and washing with solvents.
For example, in the case of carbon deposition, oxidative regeneration can burn off the carbon, while for poisoning, treatments may include the use of reducing agents or solvents that remove the poisons. Catalyst deactivation and regeneration also involve designing catalysts with greater resistance to deactivation. Research is focused on developing catalysts with more stable surface structures or incorporating protective coatings to reduce the effects of deactivation.
