11、might react with air atelevated temperatures(such as prereduced catalysts)the heattreatment should take place in an inert atmosphere.Afterheating,cool the test sample(s)in a desiccator or other suitablecontainer to eliminate the possibility of moisture adsorptionprior to testing.NOTE1These condition
12、s may not be appropriate for all materials.NOTE2Since many catalyst formulations are strong adsorbents,theuse of No.4Aindicating(cobalt-treated)molecular sieves as a desiccatingmedium is suggested.The desiccant should be regenerated at 493 K1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committ
