Original Abstract Submitted
A method of loading a catalyst includes providing a catalyst loading apparatus including an optically transparent tube, a metal tube and a horizontal divider, coating the interior surface of the optically transparent tube, the metal tube, or both with a first wax; adding a first inert material to the optically transparent tube, to form a first layer including the first inert material; adding a catalyst into the optically transparent tube, to form a second layer including the catalyst disposed above the first layer; adding a second inert material to the optically transparent tube at least until substantially no void space is observed in the second layer, the second inert material having a lesser diameter than the first inert material and the catalyst; actuating a gate of the horizontal divider into the opened position; and displacing the first and second layers into the metal tube.
