What are the Implications of Incorrect Homogeneity Identification?
Misidentifying the phase of a catalyst can lead to several issues:
1. Incorrect Mechanistic Insights: If the catalyst phase is incorrectly identified, the proposed reaction mechanism may be flawed. 2. Process Inefficiencies: Incorrect assumptions about catalyst recovery and reuse can lead to inefficiencies and increased costs. 3. Regulatory and Safety Issues: For industrial applications, incorrect homogeneity assumptions can lead to regulatory and safety concerns, especially if the catalyst leaches into products.
