How is Integration Achieved in Catalytic Processes?
Integration in catalytic processes can be achieved through several methods:
- Cascade Reactions: These involve sequential catalytic reactions where the product of one reaction serves as the reactant for the next, enhancing overall yield and reducing waste. - Multifunctional Catalysts: These catalysts possess multiple active sites that can facilitate different reactions simultaneously. - Process Intensification: This involves redesigning existing processes to make them more efficient and compact, often by integrating catalytic reactors with other unit operations. - Biocatalysis Integration: Combining enzymes with traditional chemical catalysts to create more sustainable and selective processes.
