Catalyst Preparation Methods-G1

Precipitation and co-precipitation are commonly used methods to prepare catalysts. Precipitation involves forming a solid catalyst from a supersaturated metal solution. Co-precipitation simultaneously precipitates more than one compound from a solution to form mixed oxide catalysts. Examples of catalysts prepared through these methods include SiO2-Al2O3 via precipitation and ZnCrO, V-Mo oxide, Cu-Cr oxides via co-precipitation which are used for reactions like methanol synthesis and selective oxidation. Key factors to consider include choice of base, metal salt, pH, and cation ratio.

PRECIPITATION

GROUP 1
 Process Description
 Type of Catalyst prepared by the
method
OUTLINE  Examples of Catalyst prepared by
the method
 Application of Catalysts prepared
by the method.
 Precipitation is the formation of a
desired solid Catalyst from a
supersaturated metal solution.
PRECIPITATION
 It is a traditional and the most
widely used catalyst preparation
method.
 Usually facile and economic
 Method is however demanding
PRECIPITAT since it requires product separation
TION after precipitation and large
(CONT.D) volumes of salt containing
solutions.
Precipitation method involves 4
main stages;
 Liquid Mixing/ Supersaturation
PROCESS  Nucleation
DESCRIPTIO
N  Crystal growth from primary
products
 Aggregation of the primary
particles
TYPE OF  Precipitation is mostly used in the
PREPARED BY preparation of Bulk and Support
PRECIPITATI catalysts.
