What is industrial catalyst characterization?
Within the characterization of materials, it is worth highlighting the characterization of industrial catalysts. The latter gives its name to the set of techniques and tests used to analyze the composition, structure and chemical properties of catalysts. Thus, at INFINITIA, we carry out an in-depth analysis of the composition of catalysts, both physical and chemical, which helps us understand their behavior in specific reactions.
Catalyst testing is used to identify the catalyst’s ability to facilitate reactions, as well as its stability and durability under real-life conditions. At INFINITIA, this type of testing includes everything from an analysis of catalyst composition to the evaluation of chemical properties and performance. All of this allows us to provide critical data to improve production processes and ensure optimal performance in our customers’ products.
Catalytic activity and performance tests: definition
Did you know that catalytic activity tests are essential to measure a catalyst’s ability to accelerate a chemical reaction? At INFINITIA, we therefore carry out performance tests on catalysts that allow us to measure the catalyst’s efficiency in terms of its ability to reduce reaction time and increase the conversion of reagents. This information is crucial to optimising industrial processes and maximising production efficiency.
On the other hand, our catalyst efficiency tests are designed to determine the performance of the catalyst under specific conditions, allowing us to identify the necessary adjustments to improve its effectiveness in industrial applications.
In addition to being able to carry out tests in accordance with standards, we can carry out customised, ad hoc tests and benches, through which we can reproduce real conditions. With these catalyst tests, we ensure that each catalyst is ready to operate at its maximum potential and meet the client’s production objectives. Do you want to know more?

Structural characterization of catalysts and stability tests
We analyse the structure and arrangement of the elements in the catalyst. Structural characterisation is undoubtedly an essential phase in the catalyst tests that we carry out with total precision in the INFINITIA laboratory. We use advanced techniques to evaluate the structure and composition, identifying aspects such as pore size, distribution of active phases and specific surface area. These factors directly influence the activity and durability of the catalyst. This is how we ensure that performance expectations are met in the industrial process.
In addition, our catalyst testing includes catalyst stability tests that verify the catalyst’s resistance under extreme temperature and pressure conditions, as well as its ability to maintain catalytic activity over time. This evaluation of catalyst life allows us to anticipate their performance and plan their replacement, optimizing costs and resources in production processes and approving new components.
We use innovative catalyst chemical characterization techniques
Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, electrochemical tests… all of them allow us to offer a detailed view of the chemical and physical properties of the catalyst. At INFINITIA we use various chemical characterization techniques for catalysts that allow us to analyze the elemental composition, molecular interactions and reactive properties of the catalysts.
We identify the active components and their distribution through the analysis of catalyst composition. This allows us to confirm the effectiveness of the catalyst in specific applications. With these techniques, our clients obtain precise information on the composition and reactivity of the catalyst, allowing them to make adjustments to improve its performance and effectiveness. And you, do you need our services? At the INFINITIA laboratory we can help you.
Catalyst life evaluation
Another fundamental aspect of our catalyst testing service is knowing what their useful life evaluation consists of. Catalyst useful life evaluation allows us to predict the durability and optimal operating time of the catalyst under real-life conditions.
We perform studies that simulate catalyst wear and aging, allowing us to predict its long-term behavior and plan its replacement efficiently. This type of physical-chemical analysis of catalysts helps our clients optimize their resources and maintain uninterrupted process efficiency. Our catalyst tests also include the evaluation of the catalyst’s resistance to deactivation, which helps predict its performance in long cycles and under variable operating conditions.
