Dimensionless numbers are used to describe and optimize mass transport in catalytic systems but have not yet been established for three-phase reactions in waste polyolefin deconstruction. Now, a criterion is introduced to enhance catalyst effectiveness in polyolefin hydrogenolysis, guiding the refinement of stirring parameters.
