Monitoring in catalysis involves the use of various analytical techniques and instrumentation to track the performance of the catalytic process. Common methods include:
Spectroscopy: Techniques such as UV-Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy are used to monitor reaction intermediates and products. Chromatography: Gas and liquid chromatography help in analyzing the composition of reaction mixtures. Mass Spectrometry: Used for identifying and quantifying reaction products and intermediates. Temperature and Pressure Sensors: These sensors ensure that the reaction conditions remain within the optimal range for catalytic activity.
