Separators play a vital role in improving the overall efficiency of catalytic processes. By effectively separating the catalyst from the reaction mixture, they help in: - Preventing Catalyst Deactivation: This occurs due to the contamination or poisoning of the catalyst. - Facilitating Catalyst Recovery: This is crucial for cost-effective industrial processes. - Enhancing Reaction Rates: By maintaining the catalyst in an active state and preventing its dilution with reactants or products.
