How Do Heterogeneous Catalysts Enhance Catalytic Processes?
Heterogeneous catalysts enhance catalytic processes through several mechanisms:
- Ease of Separation: Because heterogeneous catalysts are in a different phase than the reactants, they can be easily separated and recycled, reducing operational costs. - Thermal Stability: Many heterogeneous catalysts are thermally stable, allowing them to operate at higher temperatures without degradation. - Scalability: Heterogeneous catalytic processes are often more scalable and suitable for industrial applications.
