Identifying factors with weak relevance often requires detailed and systematic studies. Techniques such as:
- Kinetic Studies: Monitoring the reaction rate under varying conditions to detect minor influences on the reaction kinetics. - Spectroscopic Analysis: Using techniques like FTIR, NMR, or XPS to investigate subtle changes in the catalyst or reaction intermediates. - Computational Modelling: Simulating the catalytic process to identify and quantify the impact of weakly relevant factors. - Experimental Design: Employing Design of Experiments (DoE) to systematically vary multiple factors and identify their individual and combined effects.
