What is the Importance of Design of Experiments (DOE)?
Design of Experiments (DOE) is a systematic method to determine the relationship between factors affecting a process and the output of that process. In catalysis, DOE helps in:
Identifying significant factors and interactions. Optimizing reaction conditions for maximum yield. Reducing the number of experiments needed to reach conclusions. Improving the robustness and reliability of the catalytic process.
Software like Design-Expert and Minitab are particularly useful for DOE.
