Quenching agents are vital in catalytic processes for several reasons:
Control: They allow precise control over the reaction time and extent, ensuring that the reaction does not proceed beyond the desired point. Safety: Some catalytic reactions can become violent or produce hazardous by-products if not properly quenched. Product Purity: Quenching can help in obtaining a purer product by halting side reactions. Catalyst Recovery: In some cases, quenching agents can also aid in the recovery and reuse of the catalyst.
