The primary reasons for using metal modified catalysts include:
Enhanced Activity: Metals can provide active sites that are more effective in facilitating chemical reactions. Improved Selectivity: Metal modified catalysts can favor the production of desired products over unwanted by-products. Increased Stability: Metals can enhance the durability and lifespan of the catalyst under harsh reaction conditions. Resistance to Deactivation: Metals can help in resisting poisoning and fouling that degrade catalyst performance.
