What are Some Examples of Recycle Systems in Catalysis?
Several industries have successfully implemented recycle systems: 1. Petroleum Refining: In fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), used catalysts are continuously regenerated and recycled to maintain reactor efficiency. 2. Pharmaceuticals: Homogeneous catalysts used in drug synthesis are often recovered through solvent extraction or membrane separation technologies. 3. Chemical Manufacturing: In processes like the Haber-Bosch synthesis of ammonia, iron catalysts are periodically regenerated and reused.
