Size controlled Nanoparticles in Heterogeneous catalysis Heterogeneous catalysts generally consist of a high surface area support material onto which an active component has been deposited. The anchoring of active component onto the support can be carried out via a number of methods such as homogeneous deposition precipitation, ion-exchange, chemical vapor deposition and (incipient) wetness impregnation. From an industrial point of view the latter type of technique is most often favored because of its technical simplicity, low amount of waste streams and low costs. This method is based on the incorporation of active component via impregnation of a solution containing a precursor, which is typically a metal salt. By applying thermal treatments the precursor is deposited onto the support and subsequently converted into the catalytic active species. The chemistry involved in impregnation is very complicated since many processes take place during the impregnation, drying and activation steps. It is a well-known fact that the properties of the precursor solution (e.g. type of metal salt and pH) and support (e.g. texture and surface reactivity) largely affect the final composition of the catalyst. However, still little is known about the separate influences of precursor and support on the impregnation, drying and activation processes.
