Creating process groups involves examining various factors such as catalyst type, reaction mechanism, and application area. Here are some steps to create effective process groups:
1. Identify Key Characteristics: Determine the main attributes that define different catalytic processes (e.g., catalyst material, phase of the catalyst). 2. Classify Based on Catalyst Type: Group processes based on whether they use a homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst. 3. Consider Reaction Mechanism: Categorize reactions by their mechanism, such as acid-base catalysis, oxidation-reduction reactions, or enzyme catalysis. 4. Group by Application: Organize processes based on their industrial application, such as petrochemical refining, pharmaceutical synthesis, or environmental catalysis.
