What Are the Common Techniques for Monitoring Catalytic Reactions?
There are various techniques for monitoring catalytic reactions. Spectroscopy methods, including UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy, are widely used to observe changes in reactant and product concentrations. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are also common, providing detailed information about the composition of reaction mixtures. In situ techniques, such as in situ X-ray diffraction, are valuable for monitoring changes in the catalyst structure during the reaction.
