Several strategies can enhance cost efficiency in catalysis:
Catalyst Design: Developing catalysts with higher activity, selectivity, and stability can reduce the amount needed and extend their lifespan. Process Optimization: Fine-tuning reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, reactant concentration) to maximize catalyst performance and minimize energy input. Recycling and Regeneration: Implementing methods to regenerate and reuse catalysts can lower operational costs and reduce waste. Alternative Materials: Exploring cheaper or more abundant materials as catalyst components, such as replacing precious metals with base metals.
