Lowering reaction temperatures can provide several advantages in industrial and laboratory settings:
Energy Efficiency: Lower temperatures usually mean reduced energy consumption, resulting in cost savings and a smaller environmental footprint. Safety: High-temperature reactions often pose safety risks, including the potential for explosions or the release of toxic substances. Lowering the reaction temperature can mitigate these risks. Selectivity: Some reactions exhibit better selectivity at lower temperatures, leading to fewer unwanted by-products and higher yields of the desired product. Equipment Longevity: Lower temperatures can reduce the wear and tear on reaction vessels and other equipment, extending their operational life.
