Catalyst Manufacturing Process Steps

The document outlines the typical 10-step process for manufacturing catalysts, including precipitation, hydrothermal transformation, washing, crushing, forming, calcination, impregnation, and activation. It notes that catalyst preparation generally involves controlling impurities in chemicals to form a catalyst precursor, which is then textured and shaped to increase attrition resistance and result in the final catalyst product.

Manufacturing of Catalysts

Typical industrial operation for manufacturing catalysts can comprise :


1. Precipitation or other synthesis process (e.g. sol-gel, solid-solid, flame hydrolysis, vapour
deposition)
2. Hydrothermal transformation
3. Decantation, filtration, centrifugation
4. Washing
5. Crushing and grinding
6. Forming and/or shaping operations
7. Calcination
8. Impregnation
9. Mixing
10. Activation, reduction
In general, catalyst preparation can be schematically represented as :

Chemicals Catalyst Precursor Form Final Catalyst
