Why are Catalysts Important in Processing Feedstocks?
Efficiency Catalysts significantly enhance the efficiency of chemical reactions, allowing for faster reaction rates and higher yields. This efficiency is crucial in industrial processes where large volumes of feedstocks are converted into valuable products.
Energy Savings Catalytic processes typically require less energy compared to non-catalytic processes. This is because catalysts lower the activation energy needed for reactions to occur. Energy savings are particularly important for reducing the environmental impact and operational costs of industrial processes.
Selective Reactions Catalysts can be designed to selectively produce specific products from a mixture of reactants. This selectivity is vital in minimizing the formation of unwanted by-products and improving the overall efficiency of the process.
