Several types of catalysts are designed to simplify the separation process:
Heterogeneous Catalysts: These catalysts exist in a different phase than the reactants, often as solids in liquid or gas reactions. Their different phase makes them easier to filter out post-reaction. Magnetic Nanoparticle Catalysts: These catalysts can be separated using a magnetic field, offering a highly efficient and non-invasive separation method. Supported Catalysts: Catalysts supported on materials like silica or alumina can be easily separated by filtration or centrifugation.
