1. Optimizing Reaction Conditions: Carefully optimizing reaction parameters such as temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations can help minimize side reactions and ensure complete conversion of reactants.
2. Improving Catalyst Design: Developing catalysts with higher stability, better resistance to deactivation, and enhanced selectivity can reduce product loss. Nanostructured catalysts and those with tailored active sites often exhibit superior performance.
3. Enhanced Mass Transfer: Employing techniques to improve mass transfer, such as using high-shear mixing, increasing surface area of the catalyst, or employing microreactors, can help in achieving better yields.
4. Use of Additives: Sometimes, adding co-catalysts, promoters, or inhibitors can help in reducing side reactions and improving the overall efficiency of the catalytic process.
