To overcome mass transfer limitations, several strategies can be employed:
1. Optimizing Catalyst Design: Designing catalysts with an appropriate porous structure and high surface area can improve the accessibility of reactants to the active sites. 2. Enhancing Flow Conditions: Increasing the turbulence and flow rate can reduce boundary layers and improve mass transfer. Implementing mixing techniques such as mechanical stirring or using fluidized beds can also help. 3. Operating Conditions: Adjusting the temperature and pressure to optimal levels can enhance diffusion rates and contact time between reactants and the catalyst. 4. Using Promoters and Additives: Adding substances that improve the solubility or mobility of reactants can also enhance mass transfer.
