Catalytic processes often involve numerous variables such as temperature, pressure, concentration, and the nature of the catalyst. Factorial design is advantageous because it:
1. Identifies Interactions: It can reveal interactions between factors that might not be evident when studying each factor in isolation. 2. Efficiency: It reduces the number of experiments needed by studying multiple factors simultaneously. 3. Optimization: It helps in optimizing conditions to achieve the best catalytic performance.
