Description A supported catalyst is any catalyst that is not soluble in the reaction medium, but can be easily regenerated. They are typically used in reactions with gases or liquids that are not reactive with the catalyst itself. This allows for a more cost-effective process, and for the catalyst to have a longer life. What are the advantages of supported catalysts, in comparison to soluble catalysts? The advantages of a supported catalyst are that it is typically more cost-effective, and the catalyst has a longer life.
