What Types of Catalysts are Used in Continuous Flow?
Both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts can be employed in continuous flow systems. Heterogeneous catalysts, which are in a different phase than the reactants (typically solid catalysts with liquid or gas reactants), are often preferred due to their ease of separation and reusability. Homogeneous catalysts, which exist in the same phase as the reactants, can also be used but often require additional steps for separation and recovery.
