How to Apply Design of Experiments (DoE) in Catalysis?
Design of Experiments (DoE) is a powerful statistical tool used to plan, conduct, and analyze experiments systematically. In catalysis, DoE helps in:
Identifying significant factors affecting catalytic performance. Optimizing reaction conditions to maximize yield and selectivity. Reducing the number of experiments required by exploring multiple variables simultaneously.
To apply DoE, follow these steps:
Define the objective of the experiment. Select the factors and levels to be studied. Choose an appropriate experimental design (e.g., factorial, fractional factorial, or response surface designs). Conduct the experiments as per the design. Analyze the data using statistical software to identify significant factors and interactions.
