Achieving higher yields involves optimizing various aspects of the catalytic process:
1. Catalyst Design: Developing catalysts with higher activity and selectivity. This can be done through modification of catalyst surfaces or developing bimetallic catalysts. 2. Process Optimization: Adjusting reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations to favor higher yields. 3. Reactant Purity: Using pure reactants and solvents to avoid impurities that can poison the catalyst. 4. Reactor Design: Designing reactors that enhance mass transfer and provide optimal contact between reactants and the catalyst. 5. Regeneration Techniques: Implementing methods to regenerate or clean the catalyst to extend its lifetime and maintain high yields.
