Catalysis is essential in petroleum refining for several reasons:
Efficiency: Catalysts speed up chemical reactions, allowing refineries to process crude oil more quickly and efficiently. Selectivity: Catalysts help direct the chemical reactions towards the production of desired products, minimizing the formation of unwanted by-products. Economic Benefits: By improving the yield and quality of end products, catalysis reduces operational costs and increases profitability. Environmental Impact: Catalytic processes can lower emissions and reduce the environmental footprint of petroleum refining by making the process more efficient and cleaner.
