What are Some Practical Applications of Dialysis in Catalysis?
Practical applications include:
Enzyme Catalysis: Dialysis is often used to remove small molecules like salts, cofactors, or inhibitors from enzyme preparations, ensuring optimal enzyme activity. Nanocatalysts: For nanoparticle synthesis, dialysis can help in purifying nanoparticles by removing excess reactants or by-products. Homogeneous Catalysis: In homogeneous catalytic systems, dialysis can be used to separate catalysts from reaction products, facilitating the reuse of expensive catalyst materials.
