How are Catalysts Integrated into Manufacturing Processes?
Catalysts are integrated into manufacturing processes through various reactor designs, such as: - Fixed Bed Reactors: Catalysts are packed in a column, and reactants pass through the bed, undergoing the catalytic reaction. - Fluidized Bed Reactors: Catalysts are suspended in the reactant flow, providing excellent heat and mass transfer. - CSTR (Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor): Catalysts and reactants are continuously stirred to maintain uniform conditions throughout the reactor.
