Choosing the right supporting material depends on several factors:
Nature of the Reaction: The type of reaction (e.g., oxidation, hydrogenation) dictates the choice of support. Operating Conditions: High-temperature reactions require thermally stable supports like alumina or certain metal oxides. Compatibility with Active Species: The support must be chemically compatible with the active catalytic species to prevent undesired reactions. Mechanical Properties: Supports used in industrial applications must have adequate mechanical strength to withstand operational stress.
