Are There Examples of Catalysts with Specific Pore Structures?
Several catalysts are designed with specific pore structures to enhance their performance. For instance, zeolites have well-defined microporous structures that make them highly effective for certain reactions. Mesoporous silica materials, such as MCM-41 and SBA-15, are used in applications requiring larger pores. Macroporous catalysts, like those used in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), are designed to handle heavy feedstocks.
