The present work embodies the investigation on some potential catalyst before and after used in Industry. In the fertilizer industries, the catalysts are mainly used to synthesis of gas for production of Ammonia, Ammonia is the basic Chemical for Nitrogenous fertilizer, for this purpose, different types of laboratory prepared and available commercial LT-CO Catalyst samples were taken. Collected samples such as fresh commercial, reduced or discharged condition form the plants were taken for comprehensive studies. In these analysis, the magnetic studies were taken as a base and some important physico-Chemical Parameters related to LT-CO catalyst such as, surface area, porosity, activity and deactivation were estimated form their magnetic data, which clarify the mechanism involved in their catalytic behaviours and observed value show that physico-chemical parameters of thermal shock catalysts were lower than to fresh commercial catalysts
