What Factors Influence the Choice of Delivery Mode?
Several factors influence the choice of delivery mode for a catalyst:
Nature of the Reaction: Some reactions are better suited to homogeneous catalysis, while others benefit from heterogeneous catalysis. Scale of Production: Industrial-scale processes often prefer heterogeneous catalysis for ease of catalyst recovery. Catalyst Stability: The stability of the catalyst under reaction conditions can dictate the mode of delivery. Economic Considerations: Cost of catalyst production, recovery, and recycling are crucial economic factors.
