The siddha mantras referred in the Devīmahātmyam are very effective mantras and not any type of catalysts. The only constraint is that they may not be effective unless one has practiced the associated Śrī Caṇḍī navakṣarī mantra.

The detailed process of bhūtaśuddhi, mantra snāna etc. are mentioned in the Mantra Mahodadhi. I would recommend that you obtain a copy of the publication (Ram Kumar Rai edition for the English translation) for reference of this process as well as mantra saṃskāras etc. It is important to follow the guru tradition vs what is prescribed in the manuals, as is the usual rule of tantra. Please do confer with your guru and then proceed accordingly. A brief mention of the bhūtaśuddhi is mentioned in the self-initiation article that you can refer on this site and elsewhere.

Thanks a lot, reverent Krishna ji! And are siddha mantras from Devi Mahatmyam chapter 11 ones of some catalistic type?

The ātma bīja and siddhi mantra prescribed in the tantra manuals are like catalysts that aid in the fruition of the initiated mantra. They by themselves, do not yield beneficial results. If they did, then they would come under the class of japa mantras negating the need to recite the various deity mantras for obtaining myriad results. We should also keep in mind, that unless otherwise initiated explicity by an advanced siddha guru, a mantra does not yield results. In most cases we do not find such gurus (Tripuraghna, Jyoti, Tivra. Lorran, Ravi guruji etc.) and the initiated mantras traverse a much longer timeline to bring beneficial results. Even so, in most cases we only gain a 0.01% of the results as revered Jyoti mentioned. To unlock greater benefits, a much greater practice and revelation of the deity̍'s secrets become necessary. The bottomline is, there are no shortcuts in mantra japa and it is a long drawn out process.

If it helps, try and perform your sādhana in front of your guru. It is also essential to follow prāṇāyāmā, bhūtaśuddhi etc, along with nyāsas for a higher quality sādhana. If you do not have a guru, then focus on the meaning of each of the attributes of the sahasranāmāvalī. You can start from the start and focus on a few nāmas on a daily basis.

Guruji I chant lalita sahasranam daily from 3 weeks and bala mantra from 5 months but my concentration is very weak I am unable to fructify anything whatever I start are all left unfinished from my childhood or I fail, how can I be more faithful and accept that everything even my failure is happening with maa lalita's wish and head on with my sadhna

Dear Krishna ji, very nice. And could you tell in detail about siddhi mantras? As dear Sriguru SriSriAnandAnandanatha spoke, a certain mantra with atma bija is a siddhi mantra. Or, for example, as hon. Tripuraghna wrote, "this or that stotra (when a chanting person is in need) can be chanted with no nyasa, kilaka etc., - even without diksha! - because it is a siddha mantra". Or, in the comment to Devi Mahatmyam : " this chapter contains powerful siddhi mantras for guard and prosperity" etc etc. What are the similarities and differences between these concepts? Could you explain the general concept of "siddhi mantra" and its particular applications?
