Several strategies can be employed to manage incomplete reactions in catalytic processes:
Optimizing Reaction Conditions: Adjusting temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations can help shift the equilibrium or overcome kinetic barriers. Using Promoters or Inhibitors: Adding substances that enhance the activity of the catalyst or inhibit side reactions can improve conversion rates. Regeneration of Catalysts: Periodic regeneration processes can restore the activity of deactivated catalysts. Advanced Catalyst Design: Developing catalysts with higher selectivity and stability can minimize side reactions and deactivation.
