What are the Key Factors in Selecting Scalable Catalysts?
Several factors must be considered when selecting scalable catalysts, including:
Activity: The catalyst must exhibit high activity to convert reactants to products efficiently. Selectivity: The ability to direct the reaction towards the desired product, minimizing by-products. Stability: Long-term stability under reaction conditions to ensure durability and reduce the need for frequent replacement. Cost: Both the initial cost of the catalyst and the operational costs must be reasonable. Scalability: The catalyst should be easily scalable from lab to industrial scale without significant loss of performance.
