Several factors contribute to the ease of use of a catalyst:
Compatibility: The catalyst should be compatible with the reactants and the reaction conditions. Reusability: A good catalyst can be recovered and reused multiple times without significant loss of activity. Non-Toxicity: Catalysts that are non-toxic and environmentally friendly are easier to handle and dispose of. Cost-Effectiveness: The catalyst should be affordable and provide a good return on investment. Ease of Separation: The catalyst should be easy to separate from the reaction mixture, either by filtration, centrifugation, or other methods.
