Preferred Label : coking;
IUPAC definition : Many reactions involving hydrocarbons and particularly those run at higher temperatures
lead to the deposition on the catalyst of high molecular weight compounds of carbon
and hydrogen which deactivate the catalyst. This phenomenon is called coking or fouling.
Catalysts so deactivated can often be regenerated.;
