Total Turnover Number – a Key Criterion for Process Evaluation
Andreas S. Bommarius
Abstract
Abstract The dimensionless total turnover number TTN, the average number of turnovers per active site of a catalyst over the catalyst's lifetime, is a universal criterion for the operational stability of a catalyst. If the cost of the catalyst is known, the cost contribution per catalytic cycle can be determined. The present work honors the contributions by Prof. Christian Wandrey and his group on the topic of TTN and describes some recent developments on the subject.
