Several methods are employed for selective heating in catalysis:
Microwave Heating: Utilizes microwave radiation to directly heat polar molecules or specific components within the reaction mixture. Induction Heating: Employs electromagnetic fields to heat conductive materials, which can be embedded within the catalyst or reaction vessel. Laser Heating: Uses focused laser beams to heat precise areas, providing excellent control over the temperature and location. Resistive Heating: Involves passing electrical current through resistive materials to generate heat at specific sites.
