Catalysts offer several advantages in the production of formaldehyde:
Increased Reaction Rate: Catalysts accelerate the rate of chemical reactions, making the production process faster and more efficient. Higher Selectivity: Catalysts help in achieving higher selectivity towards the desired product, thereby reducing the formation of unwanted by-products. Lower Energy Consumption: Catalysts often allow reactions to proceed at lower temperatures, which saves energy and reduces operational costs. Enhanced Yield: The use of catalysts typically results in higher yields of formaldehyde, making the process more economically attractive.
