The use of catalytic additives is driven by several factors:
Enhanced Activity: Additives can increase the number of active sites or improve the intrinsic activity of existing sites. Improved Selectivity: They can help in steering the reaction towards the desired product by suppressing side reactions. Extended Catalyst Life: Additives can inhibit the processes that lead to catalyst deactivation, such as coking or sintering. Cost Efficiency: By improving the efficiency of the catalyst, additives can reduce the overall costs associated with catalytic processes.
