The success of industrial trials in catalysis is measured through various metrics, including:
- Conversion Rate: The percentage of reactants converted to desired products. - Selectivity: The proportion of the desired product relative to by-products. - Turnover Frequency (TOF): The number of catalytic cycles per unit time. - Turnover Number (TON): The total number of catalytic cycles before deactivation. - Economic Metrics: Cost per unit of product, return on investment, and payback period.
