Effective composition monitoring plays a pivotal role in several aspects of catalytic processes:
1. Optimization of Reaction Conditions: By analyzing the composition of reactants and products, optimal temperatures, pressures, and concentrations can be determined. 2. Catalyst Performance: Monitoring helps in understanding how a catalyst [degrades or deactivates](#), allowing for timely regeneration or replacement. 3. Safety: Real-time composition data can prevent dangerous situations like runaway reactions or the formation of hazardous by-products. 4. Economic Efficiency: By maximizing yield and minimizing waste, composition monitoring can significantly reduce operational costs.
