Process analytics plays a vital role in catalysis for several reasons: - Real-time Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of catalytic reactions helps in identifying any deviations from the desired reaction pathway. - Optimization: Data from process analytics can be used to fine-tune reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations. - Quality Control: Ensures the final product meets the required specifications. - Safety: Early detection of any hazardous conditions can prevent accidents.
