There are several benefits of diluting catalysts in catalytic processes:
Improved Control: Dilution allows for better control over reaction parameters such as temperature, pressure, and concentration of reactants. Enhanced Selectivity: By reducing the concentration of active sites, it is possible to favor specific reaction pathways, thereby enhancing selectivity towards desired products. Reduced Costs: Diluting expensive catalysts with cheaper inert materials can reduce the overall cost of the catalytic process. Minimized Side Reactions: Lowering the concentration of active sites can help in minimizing unwanted side reactions and the formation of byproducts.
