Optimizing catalyst usage involves selecting the right catalyst and using it effectively: - Catalyst Selection: Choose catalysts with high activity, selectivity, and stability. For example, heterogeneous catalysts are often preferred for industrial processes due to their ease of separation and reuse. - Loading and Distribution: Optimize the amount of catalyst used and ensure its even distribution within the reactor to maximize contact with reactants. - Regeneration and Recycling: Implement strategies for catalyst regeneration and recycling to extend its life and reduce costs.
