What Are the Applications of Controlled Molecular Movements?
The concept of controlled molecular movements has wide-ranging applications in industrial and environmental processes. For instance, in the petrochemical industry, catalysts are used to refine crude oil into valuable products like gasoline and plastics. In environmental catalysis, catalysts help in the conversion of pollutants into harmless substances. The efficiency and selectivity of these processes depend on the precise movement and interaction of molecules facilitated by the catalysts.
